Steve Jobs “put a dent in the universe”. Although I admit they make a great product, I’m not a huge Apple fan. I’ll agree they make a great product, but you won’t see me standing in line for 4 hours to get their newest product (I’m the guy that waits a few months for a price drop).

I’m late, but nonetheless wanted to pull together a tribute together with the countless others that have already done so, and continue to.

Social media has moved from the desktop to our phones, stores, cars and everything in between. As social media/networking keeps growing, it seems it’s not just a means of staying connected with friends anymore, It’s a new communication standard. All the big players seem to have recognized this, as I’m seeing more and more largely successful campaigns by companies like HSBC, GM, New York Times, HP and Intel.
