It still amazes me today how fast this shift has changed the way we communicate. This is a fascinating look into the changes within the digital sphere in the last 12 months alone, and a fantastic summary of the magnitude of the social media revolution. If you have 5 minutes, I highly recommend taking the time to watch the video below.

Today, Gruden launches Consulting WorX, an innovative online marketplace specifically designed to match businesses with consultants for various projects.
Consulting Worx is a new way of doing business that gives you and businesses a better work life balance as well as a great online network and community. Businesses simply post a new job and can choose either a self-service option, or have Consulting WorX connect them with the most suitable consultants to get the job done. Consultants can be selected for a job based on their experience, or can apply for a job directly via the noticeboard. Once introduced, all ongoing contact is then directly between the Consultant and the Business.
Gruden designed, developed and implemented the Consulting WorX application from the ground up, utilising the FarCry open-source CMS platform, with outstanding results. As well as scoping, designing and documenting the complex business model, Gruden implemented a clean, modern design, reflective of the Consulting WorX brand, with a focus on usability and consultant/business retention.
Consulting WorX provides a unique service to both businesses and consultants who seek to utilise the skills of home-based business professionals who value flexibility and experience. Take a look at www.consultingworx.com.au.

Pretty interesting set of facts.
1) The “in 2009 US DOE revealed that online students out performed those receiving face-to-face instruction,” doesn’t seem to be too convincing. Not that I don’t believe it, but from experience and friends, I feel online classes are easier. Obviously this isn’t an across the board case, but generally I believe it to be true.
2) The “78% of consumers trust peer recommendations, where only 14% trust advertisements”, seems to make a ton of sense. And for me really reinforces the power of social media networks.
Great video.
