Small-Cap CEO Lesson: Web 2.0 Coverage Of Plane Crash Beats CNN and Major Media

The following photo came from a passenger on a ferry that was sent to pick up passengers from the US Airways plane in the Hudson River (click to see full sized image).

“Jkrums” used his mobile phone to take the picture, then post it via Twitter, where it was then sent around the web like wildfire.  In the meantime, all CNN could do was provide aerial footage from helicopters.

If you’re a small-cap CEO that still doesn’t believe in the power and speed of Web 2.0, you’re more doomed than the passengers of this flight – who all got off safely thank goodness.

Regards,
George
