Privacy is Dead. What does a world without privacy mean for humanity? Our reputations? Our kids? Socialnomics thought-leader Erik Qualman pays the Virtual Newsmakers Internet studio a repeat visit to talk about his new book: What Happens in Vegas Stays on YouTube. Called a Digital Dale Carnegie, Erik Qualman is the author of Socialnomics: How social media transforms the way we live and do business. Socialnomics made Amazon's #1 Best Selling List for the US, Japan, UK, Canada, Portugal, Italy, China, Korea and Germany. His book Digital Leader helped him be voted the 2nd "Most Likeable Author in the World" behind Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. He also holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the longest continuous podcast.

1. The Wisdom of
Erik
Qualman
“Social Media isn’t a fad,
it’s a fundamental shift in
the way we communicate.”

2. Virtual Newsmakers Show

3. Mobile drives social;
social drives mobile.

4. Listen, interact, act,
and share

5. Have the tools work for
you rather than you work
for the tools.

6. 92% of children under the
age of two have a digital
shadow. Whether you’re 80
or 20, your reputation is no
longer completely in your
control.

7. You have to live your life as if
your mother is watching you.

8. If you don’t post…what you are doing is
allowing others to manage the reputation for
you. There is going to be negative stuff
posted about us, but if we’re not proactive
in managing our reputation, then that’s all
that shows up. If we’re proactive, that
negative thing may be one small part of the
story, five percent. You don’t necessarily
want a perfect profile because it looks like
it’s not a real person. That five percent
actually helps you.

9. We don’t have to wait for
our funeral. Our legacy is
in digital ink, permanent
ink. Even after we’re gone,
we can actually have
influence over others.
