    EDISON'S PHONOGRAPH
    November 21, 1877 - New York City, U.S.A.

    Thomas Edison announced his invention of his "talking machine" - the tin-foil cylinder recorder that preceeded the phonograph. He appears to have envisioned it as a business dictation machine. In Sep 1877, he wrote that its purpose was "to record automatically the speech of a very rapid speaker upon paper; from which he reproduces the same Speech immediately or years afterwards preserving the characteristics of the speakers voice so that persons familiar with it would at once recognize it." The indented tin foil, however, would survive only a few playings. By the first public showing of a phonograph, which took place in New York City in early Feb 1878, its practical applications had not yet been realized.

    WIRELESS TELEPHONE AT WHITE HOUSE
    November 21, 1919 - White House, U.S.A.

    President Wilson used a radio telephone set up on the south portico of the White House to direct the maneuvers of a dozen army airplanes flying over the Potomac river several miles away. His telephoned directions went direct to the flight commander in the air. The instrument was similar to those used by American aviators in France in the latter part of World War I. Col. C. C. Culver actively developed the equipment. He began the project in Aug 1910. No new invention was needed, only adaptation and adjustment of existing techniques. By Aug 1916, he was able to send a radio telegraph signal from a plane. Enlisting expert help from the telephone companies, by Oct 1917, voice messages could be send between a plane and the ground. The system was put into service for military wartime use.

Whether you are an e-commerce entrepreneur, the webmaster of an online information portal, or just someone who likes to blog on a free blogging platform like Blogspot, Typepad or Wordpress, social media will soon become a part of your online and even offline presence if it has not become one already. When the power of social media is used to generate new opportunities and avenues of business in unchartered territories, it is called social media optimization. You have most definitely heard of social media optimization and the Web 2.0 phenomenon in all types of contexts - on Internet forums, on discussion boards and even during overheard water cooler babble.

The Dynamics of Social Media Optimization Before we tell you about social media optimization and what it can do for you, we should tell you a little about social media on the Internet. Cyber space provides a uniquely dynamic springboard today for millions of web surfers to make friends, win friends and influence people virtually. It all started with simple live chat and community chat rooms. It gradually expanded into full-fledged scheduled activity on websites such as FaceBook, Twitter and MySpace -- websites that were set up primarily as platforms for individuals to hang out and connect with one another. Online communities in which birds of a feather quickly began flocking together virtually mushroomed overnight.

Today, there are millions of social media websites also known as social networking websites or Web 2.0 websites that are entirely devoted to even the most esoteric and remote hobbies, disciplines and professions.
