Picking and choosing among today's social networks is getting to be a full-time job. How do you know what is right for you? Sometimes you just need to jump in because there isn't a great amount of information available to help you make an intelligent decision.
In follow up to my last post on Twitter: Dos and Don'ts; I found this article to share again from CIO.com. Follow the link and let me know what you think. Twitter: How to Get Started Guide for Business People. I liked the article it gave me some insight that I didn't have previously regarding Twitter.
Personally, I think it is all about self-branding and if that is what you are after - establishing a presence in all of these venues will help with the process. One thing that I recommend is that you link each of your venues to each other so you can maintain some consistency and create your materials one time only. Multiple sites also allows you the ability to separate your interests while still enabling your audience to gain the full impact of who you are. Of course you need to watch out for the compromising information that could come back to bite you.
Happy Networking!

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI am on Twitter but I can't say I have found much value yet. I think it could be valuable as a quick communication device for team members or a close social group. I'm open to having my mind changed but it doesn't seem as valuable to me as LinkedIn or Facebook for that matter.
