- @themediaisdyingOld media is dying in large part because they can’t afford to release control of the message.The technology trade publications used to be phone book sized. Last week’s Computerworld was as thin as a pamphlet.We’ve seen what customer references like BCBS of Minnesota can help us do. But it is up to us to help them tell their story.Ohio Health and Progress Energy at Pink Elephant.Technology makes new relationships possible. This is social media.I was having a tweetversation with a guy about bad software vendor practices. Told him about how Fred and Service-now.com are out to atone for software sins of the past. Mike at Qualcomm jumped into the conversation and vouched for us. Or another time I asked for Service-now.com customers on Twitter to validate a point I was making and a few jumped right in and vouched for us.
