Thanks to Innotech and WebVisions for sponsoring Silicon Florist

Hey social media! Turn that frown… err world upside down
To employ on old phrase, you’d have to have been living under a rock the past month or so not to recognize the impact of social media. From unrest in the Middle East to earthquakes in Japan, social media outlets have provided both the outlet for news and the platform for thousands of opinions and voices of support.
In many ways, the world is upside down. And social media made it that way. Empowering individuals and giving them the means to communicate on an international scale. And the folks at WebVisions would like to take some time to discuss that. Even if their conference is still a month or two off. Read More

But what does this mean for the world of media? And how is changing the business of media?
Well, the folks behind the annual WebVisions conference may have composed a event that can answer that very question. Meet The Brave New World of Media. Read More

memePDX: An old school text edition of the show for your Kindle or something
