I can’t believe it has been a year since Marta Kagan shared the “What the F**K is Social media?” slides on the now famous website: SlideShare. I know that many of you may be offended by the offensive language that is used in this slideshow and the only reason I am sharing this is because they (bleep) out the word.
If you are wanting to understand the concepts of social media (which are now a bit data) slide on through this slideshare. Better yet, if you are wanting to understand the concept of a viral phenomenon… you are going to need to slide through this slideshare. This presentation has been shared hundreds of thousands of times (if not millions). Out of respect to viral marketing and Marta… I wanted to reshare this presentation.
If anyone is completely and utterly offended by the use of this slideshare… I apologize now.

The Millenial generation almost revels in the use of the offensive as a way to communicate and separate themselves from their predecessors. Also this slide show captures the envirnoment of social media, the new professional: simultaneously being edgy and fluent. I personally thought of it as being bold rather than offensive.
Kyle thats a great slideshow thanks for sharing. I have been telling people about alot of this stuff but having the numbers really drives the point home. I will share this post with friends that I'm trying to get involved in social media.
