what happens in vegas stays on....... ha so true! :) I find that most interesting that 1 out of 8 couples married in the last year have met through social media sites, a few years ago I would have got the reaction" i can't believe you met someone over the internet!" but it's very much the norm now which is good to see.
My two favorite "scientific facts" quoted in this clip are:
"2009 US Department of Education study revealed that on average. online students out performed those receiving face-to-face instruction.."
"Studies shows it's [Wikipedia] more accurate than Encyclopedia Britannica".
I would rather agree with Murdoh and John Gapper (FT’s chief business commentator) who said;
“There was an awful lot of nonsense talked about the desirability of making everything free on the net. But it was never a business strategy, only a slogan. And a lot of that nonsense was talked by people who had motivation to want all content to be free – Silicon Valley people, aggregators, hardware manufacturers, software manufacturers.
They wanted all this information to be free because it improved the value of their businesses. And they sold everyone else a pup, saying that if all content owners didn’t make their content free, then somehow they didn’t get it.
Actually, they were just bullying a lot of people with completely different interests from their own into adopting their interests."
You Tube, Twitter and Facebook still didn't break even yet...
