A view of Social Media
April 15, 2008 by Bethany
I’ve wanted to write more about social media, so when I saw the following video on Click Newz with Lynn Terry, it seemed like a worthy post to share with you.
It’s with Boulder’s own Dave Taylor, who you may know from AskDaveTaylor.com - if not, you need to check that out too.
Just choose how you want to watch it, either flash or quicktime, and watch it from this page.
Dave discusses a little bit about blogging, as well as each of the following: LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter. By the way, if you didn’t know you can find me on each of those, as well, just go to the following links:
FaceBook: http://profile.to/BethanySiegler/
Twitter: http://twitter.com/uniquethink
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/uniquethink
If you aren’t on any of these social media sites, now is the time. Don’t wait to know everything about it, just sign up and start adding connections and knowledge, as you go. (But take Dave’s advice, from the video, that this is a combination tool, half professional/half personal, so don’t post something you don’t want the world to know).
What? You don’t know who to invite as your ‘friends’? Well, these tools make it easy, they let you add contacts from your Outlook Express (or other mail clients). They will search and see if anyone whose email address you have is already on these services. And, you can always add me, too! Follow my shorter online actions, when I am not writing on this blog.
Then come back here and ask me questions that need more in depth discussions.
Hope this helps - watch the video now:
