As my good friend, Michael Brito, SVP Edelman, stated in an interaction yesterday, So many people are open to like, share and comment for social issues


You can't TYPE a revolution. Revolutions require courage and bood.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Revolution Means Courage and Blood
I love this post my friend Phil Buckley (@1918) shared because it speaks to my experience creating http://www.MartinsRide.com and http://www.CureCancerStarter.org .

While I have NEVER been disappointed by the kindness of strangers, those willing to step up and really do SOMETHING valuable are rare. The removed "TV-Like" nature of social media, something I love, can create the appearance of revolution as nothing really changes.

Could social media become a huge pacifier? Yes, but it can also help catch terrorists and create Arab springs. Ultimately tools are neutral it is what we do with them that mattes. The problem is their daily use isn't changing anything.

The way we create change is to step up with courage and be willing to shed some blood. Revolutions are never bloodless or free. I'm all in. What about you? And YES I recognize that I am typing that statement into social media, but typing isn't the only thing my team is doing. What about yours?

Buzz Team Competition: Creating A Revolution Is HARD and Scary

Buzz Team Competition: Creating A Revolution Is HARD and Scary | Social Marketing Revolution | Scoop.it
From plus.google.com - October 15, 2013 3:08 PM

CureCancerStarter.org, crowdfunding cancer research, launches tomorrow. The REVOLUTION in how we fund cancer research depends on the Cure Cancer Buzz Team, social media wizards and FOMs (Friends of Martin new and old) willing to help create awareness and trust for a new idea.

The new idea is SIMPLE. Cancer Patients should know what is happening in cancer research. Cancer patients like ME, my family and friends should be able to give MONEY to Dr. Hank van Deventer, the oncologist who saved my life.

This revolution wil only happen IF pepole STOP long enough to help. Five weeks from tomorrow 3 Cure Cancer Buzz Team CAPTAINS will be awarded. Becoming a Cure Cancer Buzz Team Captain speaks to a social media marketers MAD SKILLS, their humanity and grace.

Hope you will JOIN the Cure Cancer Buzz Team
