My most recent and most interesting usage of social media, especially on the DOTCOM trip to the Caucasus has been my "Flip" video camera. I have learned about many beneficial usages to our Flip, including being able to capture moments that might otherwise turn into lost memories. Most importantly though, I can utilize my Flip to capture videos or people, places and things and share it with others who may not have otherwise experienced it firsthand. For example, our DOTCOM Social Media for Social Change Conference, sponsored by PH International, this weekend is being held in Tblisi Georgia. Although hundreds of people from around the Caucasus and Europe will be attending this spectacular event, of course it is not possible for every social media advocate to be present. This is why we have made it one of our duties to each film individual parts of the conference and inteview speakers with our Flip cameras. Then we will edit and upload our videos to youtube for availibillity to all users around the globe interested in social media. Through our filming of of th oncference with our flip cameras, we will literally be sharing a world of information about our program and how it is possible for youth arounf the globe to interact with Web 2.0 tools. It will also demonstrate to millions the power and importance of social media for social change for our youth's generation.
