Four years ago, I witnessed an intriguing
development. I'd seen many layoffs working at a digital agency, but this time
the agency was replacing those roles with new roles for social media experts.
For me, social media was a fad and not something I thought much about. I didn't
understand why the agency was hiring people who were "fooling around on
Facebook" instead of doing real work. Ironically, it took leaving the agency and
re-entering academia to get a Ph.D. to understand why this shift was happening.
Embedding myself with a student population helped me gain perspective. The
agency was right.
When I returned to school in 2010, I saw undergrads constantly checking their phones between classes. That year, students mostly texted one another using simple feature phones. As semesters passed, updating your Facebook status on a smartphones, and checking others' status became the norm.
Clearly, social and mobile technologies are fundamentally changing the way people communicate and share with their peers. No longer are fashion trends set in the hallways; they are decided on Facebook Newsfeeds and Twitter timelines. The intersection of mobile and social technologies has given rise to the connected consumer, and I've found myself in the perfect laboratory to study them.

Facebook recently announced they have more than one billion active users, half of which check into the community at least once a day. Students checking Facebook between classes are now the majority. Over half of Facebook users access Facebook on a mobile device, and they are twice as active as other internet users. Heck, even my mother joined the site, which she fondly refers to as her "Face-Page." Granted, I'm giving sites like Pinterest, Linkedin, and Twitter the short shrift here, because Facebook's numbers are amazing.
In 2010, when I asked students whether they carried a smartphone, only about a quarter raised their hands. Now, most students in marketing classes carry smartphones, which account for half of all phones purchased. Feature phones, flip phones and weird slider bar form factors that had been popular for years are receding as people increasing rely on instant access to information and social networks to solicit and share opinions before, during, and after purchase/consumption experiences. This was the start of some remarkable research.
The emergence of location and social sharing proliferated with the connected consumer. Ten years ago, marketing scholars declared location (aka "Place" -- the second of four "P"s in the marketing mix) was dead. The internet was seen as the great equalizer.

Since then, smartphone GPS systems and programs like Foursquare have made location based marketing effective again. Instead of sharing photos when we return from vacation, we can share them as they happen on our trips (or at dinner, or at the mall, or anywhere else we deem worthy). In fact, for some people, connecting while on the go has become an addiction.
