Iagree that it's not the activity that has changed, it's how we perform that activity. And the new tools make it easier, faster, and more effective. Easier becasuse it's now one click--no clipping things and inter-officing them. Faster since once I make that click, it's instantly where I want it to be. And more effective/efficient since I can reach my 1,500 followers and 120 friends all at once. Is this a fad? Nope. Hopefully you have seen this viral video on whether social media is a fad or not. And you can share it with your readers. It presents an answer, and then backs it up with lots of impressive stats.
