Mashable Teaches Me Things

This morning, the first thing I did when I got to work was look through some advertising websites to send some "cool, new" digital media updates to my clients. Maybe I was inspired by watching "The Social Network" last night, but mostly I think it was because I am working harder to becoming better at my job.

I've loved all the places I've worked- each for different reasons.
- My first job was awesome in that it was a fantastic place to start out in the advertising world.
- Next up, I headed to New York for my first "boutique" agency experience. I learned more than I could have ever hoped, and also went to Sweden for a month to work closer with our European clients.
- I ended my time at that agency in October, heading to my current agency on Madison Ave.

I went off on a baby tangent from what I was planning to chat to you about: Phones that will soon offer a FACEBOOK BUTTON! Not an application, not a "bookmark" inside the mobile web browser... I mean, as there's a "send" button on your phone, there will soon be a "Facebook" button on your phone too.

Got me thinking... I'm sure someone's going to put a Facebook button on TV clickers soon, since now Facebook is in cars, and on our phones, it might as well be on our televisions.

...But, what else could be as valuable as Facebook? Is there a next best thing on the horizon that I haven't caught onto yet? Is it special to one group of people now, as Facebook was once to Harvard, and colleges?

Mashable informed me about this Facebook button, so I'm hopeful they'll be the ones that catch this next-best-thing. And I'm happy to say: I don't think that Twitter is IT.
