This weekend was Memorial Day. Memorial Day isn’t just a three day weekend, an extra day off of work or school. Memorial Day is a day we remember and recognize the volunteers, the leaders who died in service of our country. Just about everyone has a friend or relative who died fighting for or has served in the military protecting the freedoms we hold so dear, yet so often take for granted.

I love this new video from the Case Foundation about the power of social media for social change. The numbers illustrate how far the field has come in adopting social media, although not 100% adoption. The video reminded me of the classic video, “ The Machine is US/ing Us.” I often used the video at social media workshops back then to generate discussion about how our world is changing.
