By now, we all ought to understand it does not matter whether the video
has some "out of context" quotations/statistics. The power of social
networks is not about "facts" but about perceptions and personal
relevancy, is not a short-term fad, and should not be under-estimated.
Nearly every 7th-12th grader and college student I have had for tours is
on Facebook, LinkedIn, mySpace, Tweets, and/or has a blog or Flickr
account. This seems to reflect every demographic group. And with
cellular technology improving faster and dropping in cost, it's only a
matter of time before your blog or Facebook posts, your Tweets, your
Flickr pix will end up on a hand-held device down the street, across the
nation, or an ocean away.
Facebook reached 200 million users in April 2009

Twitter peaks with BIG national news, like Obama's inauguration:

And everything you ever wanted to know about blogs, but were afraid to
ask:

Will that be helpful to you? Nobody can predict that ... yet.
But as with any publically accessible media (like Museum-L), be careful
what you blog about, what time-stamps are on your Facebook wall posts,
who you Tweet, etc. You never know who the next person will be to read
it and what influence(s) that might have... positive or not.
All best,

Media to Promote Your Institution
The "video" is actually promotion to sell a book.
And as for the so called information - lies, damn lies and statistics.
The concept of social media is likely more than a fad - but if this were
an example of social media - half truths, out of context quotes and
misapplied math is in abundance and real facts - supported by research
is rare.
