Talk about:

My plan for the next 1,800 seconds...

Time to hit 88 MPH.

957 million people around the globe had internet access – 25% were from North America.

The “must-have” gadgets were the 2nd gen BlackBerry 7700 and the 2nd gen iPod.

This first-ever iPhone was still 2 years away...

Did not exist.

These companies were still alive.

Web 2.0 hype was just starting to build up.

The term “social media” did not yet exist as a mainstream term.

Overall adult usage of social websites was still in single digit % points.

This is what you saw when you went to Facebook.com

This little birdie had not hatched yet.

LinkedIn had just reached 1.5 million users and looked like this:

Individual blogs were just starting to take off beyond the techie community.

The first video was uploaded to YouTube by its co-founder Jawed Karim.

Public sector reaction at the time (in general).

OK, let’s go back to 2015.

Facebook alone has nearly double the user base of the entire internet in 2005.

• Average monthly active users : 1.49 billion

• Approximately 83% of daily activity is outside of U.S and Canada

Nearly 600 million Google search results mentioning “social media”.

Anyone who wants to share or publish something, now has the ability to do so.

Evolution of life blogging into life streaming and the influence of niche celebrities.

Shaytards – 3,860,933 subscribers

Bethany Mota – 9,537,817 subscribers

My Drunk Kitchen (Hanna Hart) – 2,340,838 subscribers

Widespread availability of disturbing raw content with no filter.

New behaviours as a result of our broadband mobile devices.

Personal digital footprints and the blending of our professional and personal lives.

Increasing comfort with sharing “private” information (of any kind) online.

Instantaneous video production and consumption.

• 3 seconds to grab attention (and need to do it without audio)

• Vertical video formats

• Live-streaming democratized and searchable (e.g. Periscope and Meercat)

• Catering video style to online consumption (Scribing vs. human actors vs. illustration vs. CGI)

Private sector jumping sporadically at the opportunities, not always successfully.

The public sector has taken a different approach, but at least it’s moving in the right direction.

Growth of online service delivery, social media support, and intel gathering.

A federal “service-delivery” culture and mindset has started to grow as well.

There are now 238 official Government of Canada social media channels.

New forms and sources of data are being introduced to help with decision making.

days regarding “Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)”

Visualization of Hashtags correlated to #Canada150 Visualization of key trending words in the Ottawa area

Social Business

Social Media Engagement

Social media definitions have finally evolved beyond the tools.

Public Sector 2005-2015

Centralized structures are losing ground to the hub & spoke model.

New skillsets are in demand.

Overarching “digital” departments are predicted to take over the “social” function.
