Five Things you should know that make business different now

Another BIG thanks. This time to Gary Vaynerchuk for his Five Things that make business now different to 2007.

1. The consumer controls the message of your brand more then ever (see twitter)

2. The gate keepers of content have officially lost their control (see youtube, ustream, blogs, podcasts)

3. Endorsements are flying at top social media personalities (see twitterholic and look at the top 50, these peeps are getting offers)

4. Old media can be smart ..Finally (See HULU.com)

5. Everything I just said above will be even more obvious and powerful in 2011.

The big message here is: Take care of you consumer and get into social media.
This is great information to have from someone at the top of his game. Best of luck for the future Gary.
