Chinwag was invited to The Guardian Activate: London 2013, which took place at King’s Place next to the Guardian offices in King’s Cross. Two members of the Chinwag team, Terri and myself, were sitting in the audience soaking up all the information.
It was evident from the beginning of the summit that bringing people together through technology was the theme of day.
The auditorium was packed all day, buzzing with exciting live demos and international speakers (a good old chunk of them were Americans making me a little home sick and realizing I am actually not that loud).
Whatever the reason may be, we all use Facebook on a regular basis.
But we have never spotted to ask the question, is Facebook bringing us together or pushing us apart?
Aaron Balick explores this in abridged version of his original post which you can read here.

Understanding Social Business, Social Data and Social CRM
The true value of social media, say the wise, lies in business, data and CRM.
Those elements, along with customer service and engagement marketing, will be discussed in detail next week, on July 8-9 in London, at Social CRM 2013.
How does social media affect (or reflect) the basic ways in which we understand ourselves and others? One question seems to resurface: is the development of “Web 2.0” is changing us in some way, or is it simply a technological development in which the same old psychological traits express themselves differently?
Social media has penetrated into the social and interpersonal lives our connected-up society rapidly and continues to grow. Facebook alone reports that it has more than 800 million active users. Unsubstantiated reports across Twitter inform me that it is fast approaching one billion. There must be something very compelling about social networking.

Think all your Facebook fans are equal? Richard Jones, the CEO of EngageSciences doesn't...
Back in 2009, when EngageSciences was founded, we saw that the first generation of social media management systems weren’t really platforms for marketers. Let’s be clear, there is a difference between tools that are aimed at managing the conversation on social channels and a platform designed to configure and run social marketing campaigns.
