If you don’t mind, I’m naming next year 2010sen.

I’ll be working across the break excluding the public holidays so please don’t hesitate in contacting me with any requests.

According to Forrester Research the figures point to a definite ‘YES’.

The below chart categorizes techonology users into several categories.  Most interestingly is the difference between Creators (25%) and Spectators (62%) and this spread varies depending on demographics.

In short, a lot more people are into consuming online media from sites like Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, News Sites, Youtube and others.  Less than half of all consumers are Creators…

The other day I ran into a successful journalist who said he surprised that tools and sites like Twitter and Facebook and personal blogs had not faded away and were in fact gaining popularity.

People, companies and groups of all types are seeing the value in being Creators… because it’s not really that hard to Create nowadays. Given the right tools, training and time, anyone can have a voice, a published video or song and be heard.  Gone are the days of needing a print press, expensive direct mail or a TV station to get your message heard.

So what’s it going to be?  Want to Create?

They love the flexiblity and engagement that my websites bring them. They are getting great traffic and love the fact that they get to create and tweak the content as much as they want – when they want.

The great thing about working with authors and speakers is that they are proffessional communicators and there is no easier way to reach out and connect with the world than through the web.

Here’s how simple it is for authors and speakers to ‘connect  with their tribe’

They log in to the web based back-end of their site (like I’m doing right now). They write a heading, the body of their article or newsletter and even add a photo and some links if they like.  They click one PUBLISH and automatically:

• The article appears on the front page of their site/blog.
• The content they’ve written goes to Facebook and posts a note against their profile for their friends to read.
• An automatic Twitter notification is created with a link to their article.
• Anyone subscribed to receive their articles via email will get it within 24 hours.

It’s so simple and easy.
