"QOD: What's Preventing OKP from becoming a relevant Social Media GIANT?"
Tue Jun-23-15 08:51 AM by Case_One

          

With all of the opinions, talent, information, insight, energy, passion, and collectiveness available on this site (every board included), Why hasn't OkayPlayer become a driving force behind many of the hot topics within social media? Why haven't we become iconic and massive change agents? Our networking and ability to effect change could be formidable and unstoppable if we applied ourselves. Just think about how many people are on this entire site and then magnify that by at least 30 additional people that we influence within our personal circles and then multiply that and so on.

OKP should be driving trending topics everyday on Twitter and other platforms. News sources should be engaging our feeds looking for the next topic of discussion, leading edge issues and social conversation.

So what's the deal? What's limiting our capacity to become change agents and leaders of relevant conversation on multiple fronts?

When I see this site I see unlimited potential and power that's not being used to do what it should be doing. It's like looking at someone driving a Lamborghini Aventador 80 miles an hr on the autobahn.

We should be making headlines not just posting about them. We should be driving political and social change. We should be organizing movements with precision and elevating real agendas for the betterment of our communities.

What's keeping us and holding us from being what we can be?

and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved."

Jun 23rd 2015
22

28

Jun 23rd 2015
35
                I'm saying those people aren't drawn to this site anymore
Jun 23rd 2015
55
                     I'm not talking about drawing people this site.
Jun 23rd 2015
64
                          Because we're mostly old and old people are often
Jun 23rd 2015

Jun 23rd 2015
85
