The flow of information is bigger as ever before. Through the wires of internet endless amount of information is traveling from each corner of the world. Our channels to access, consume and gather have increased. And even many minichannels within the big one, once again the web, have rised lately for us to connect and share information in new ways. World of mouth and the cretdibility of people around us opinions and recommendations have found new ways to spread through the new services. Almost everyone I know have either MSN, Skype, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube account or their own Blog. Some, like myself, have accounts on all those services. And day in and day out, I talk with people on the IM channels, and check the different communities what my friends, family and people around me do, recommend and done.
And what I have discovered is that all those channels and my connections, I get more and more links to news and happenings which I then can investigate more. I think people in general like to share and recommend things with others. Just looking at myself, I find big joy in introducing new music bands for people and spread news and information to people who would like it. When it comes to informations and news, the biggest problem is time to find and read all the interesting info out there. But with all of those easy accessible networks of connections and new technology its even easier to just pass a link along in a IM message or simply copy it in “What am I doing right now?”-status on Facebook. Even if people don’t know exactly what other people read or recommend, they love to investigate what others are interested in. Also, to create niched interest Groups have never been easier, and through them spread information. We are all out and through different ways we find information or news, and we then want to spread them to people we believed would be interested. I’ve never before been recommended so many news, or spread through other what I have found.
One of the biggest thing to spreading of news are the credibility of people we know and trust. There are tons of aggregations sites and search engines. And even thou blogs and news sites have comments and rate features on every news of post, it can still be idiots rating or commenting. Information recommended of passed on from people we know are still rated higher. So spread the word!
