1950′s Social Media News – Special Broadcast

Never seen before, this footage is of a 1950′s Social Media News Special Broadcast.  It concerns a certain gentleman called ‘Conor Lynch’ who has had some good news in making a marketing awards short-list.  How they predicted this news 50 years before it happened is truly remarkable!

However, to help this helpful fellow claim the overall social media prize, please vote for him in the iia Net Visionary Awards before 6pm on Sept. 2nd 2011 -- your support will be much appreciated!
