Nerdy fact, today’s date is a palindrome. Ok, moving on.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the yearly international tradeshow of the Consumer Electronics Association held every January right here in Las Vegas. It’s a pantheon of gadgets, computers, cameras, phones, TV’s, network technology and everything in between. At this year’s event more than 2,500 technology companies introduced over 20,000 new products, drawing 120,000 industry professionals from around the world. With more than 5,000 reporters, analysts and bloggers in attendence, the web is flooded with news coverage. If you have some time, explore social.cesweb.org, CES’s own social media aggregator.
With so much coming out of CES, this could have been a really long post. But it’s not going to be. Despite all the cool things I saw and heard from CES- 3D TV’s, a camera with a social sharing tool, a toy helicopter that you can control with an iPhone, a phone with a built-in digital protector… there’s no way I can feature all the important, new and geeky toys that relate to social media. It’s just overload. More and more, our everyday consumer electronics are becoming more social. Check out how MoSoNex is bringing your favorite social networking sites directly to your TV- this company was named Honoree for the Best of Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering in the category of social networks.
