Oftentimes, I find a way or two to wiggle my social media know-how into the organization’s everyday proceedings, but the release of HD quality video on YouTube and Facebook has sent my work straight into high gear.
Why? As I upload beautiful concert footage in 720p, a format heretofore rarely utilized in wide distribution, it’s occurring to me that I am uploading the only high definition video footage of wind bands on either YouTube or Facebook.
With the developments of the last month and a half or so, it’s clear to me that the needs of the social web have moved past filtering. As the economy impacts the tech sphere, once-sturdy Web 2.0 startups crumble, and even the most powerful publishing companies begin to feel the strain, I’m realizing that what I and many fellow users need now is simplicity, a step beyond mere filtering– it’s what we reach once we’ve refined, drilled down, and pared away all but the necessities of our social web and social media experiences.
