Your posts are always concise, easy to read and follow. As Jonathan noted above my traits are similar but not as extreme. We use social media to lead people to our website and to become clients. As such, we are very conscious of what we say and what others may infer from our comments and watch for their responses. Jeff,

I can't bleeive what I just read--because Jeff is absolutely correct. I used to read the newspapers daily. Now, I can get the same information on the Internet (and not have the black ink all over my hands). Jon Stewart is funny and "The Daily Show" has made a living making fools out of people who think they are important and/or have something improtant to say. Even the correspondents (Steve Carill, Ed Helms and Steven Colbert immediately come to my mind) have gone to great lengths to mock the very people they were "interviewing." That's Jeff's point: nobody trust what they hear or read. They want information and someone they can rely on to deliver that news, be it Cronkite or Stewart. Kudos, Jeff! Mark Wow!

I'm in the demographic you described above and it's true, I don't read the newspapers, don't listen to the radio, and DON'T trust advertising. You want to know how I got the news about Michael Jackson's death? Through friendfeed. That means I get my news from friends via social media. Who needs news when you have the world at your fingertips? Trust in new media is uber important to anyone who is trying to develop their "presence." The future is friendrank and the way you get that is by cultivating trust through our social networks. I thoroughly enjoyed this post, looking forward to more from you. Jeff,
