Social Media Might Just Find Darby a Home
May 28, 2009

Submitted by Shonaliburke from blog: The Darby saga has been going on for weeks now (if you’re a first-time reader, check out my earlier posts at the bottom of this one to get up to speed, but long story short, she’s an “orphaned” GSD in Portland, Ore., for whom I’m trying to find a home). When I started blogging, tweeting, etc., [...]. (Read More)

Annenwood,
May 26, 2009
: Comment on this as an adult and you're old fashioned and 'out of step' but, to me, this is the same pressure as answering the phone. As the article mentions. But, just because the phone's ringing doesn't mean that it's more important than what it's interupting. I know lots of people who leap to answer the phone,texts etc as soon as they come in and it is really rude. So how do you convince young people not to reply to texts instantly if their parents reply instantly using the medium they prefer using? I suggest we start with some etiquette - No-one interupts anything to answer a text/call. Let it go to voicemail or leave the message until you've finished what you were doing. If we all start doing that, and leading by example, then things might improve.

Here’s How to Make #followfriday Work With the New Twitter Changes
May 15, 2009

Submitted by Louisgray from Google Reader: I mentioned on Tuesday in response to Twitter’s new changes that it could be impossible for anyone to see your suggestions on #followfriday if you started your Tweets with an “@”. Based on your responses, my assumption was part right, and part wrong. #followfriday is not going away (as long as Twitter users don’t want it (Read More)

: The #followfriday inputs have at least two points of recommendations that make them more specific than random - a person you're following has made the introduction. Your twitter community will increase in value, if you follow some of those introduced and if you remove people whose tweets you don't care for.

Twitter And Facebook, Not two of the Same. So Stop Comparing them.

Firqby,

: They are different but the significant point is Facebook is more of a trusted and known group of friends and twitters is about followers who are known and unknown.

Information in Facebook is generally limited to friends and friends of friends where as twitter is like a giant social gathering where there are people you and your friends already know but there are also people you do not know.

The ability to join conversations of strangers and listen to the trends is the key to difference.

Twitter lets you engage and get to know people beyond your current circles while also allowing you to participate with your existing network of connections as well.

Ultimately I agree with this writer they are vastly different tools and people should be using both.

: If you are going to compare you need to add Linkedin in the mix.

Facebook is flawed at it's core and that's why Twitter will surpass it within two years - Twitter is made for asymmetric relationships. Facebook was built for symmetric relationships. They both are social networks, as are most all new technologies

Facebook - Best for people under the age of 30
Trying to be like Twitter now
Below average to use for business
Good for young people who don't work yet
Not good for family
Trying to become everything to everyone
Not private enough, yet not easy enough to tell the world things

Twitter - Best for people who are givers, not takers
Only works if you first take time to learn who to follow
More relevant information
Only works if you have a servant heart
More timely
Not easy to understand why it's so much better than Facebook
Need to use 3rd party apps to make it effective

LinkedIn - Best for those growing their business and/or career 1 Link at a time
More powerful than Facebook for business by 10 fold
Must invest time in getting to know your connections and their connections
Must have the brain capacity to put the connections together - who can you help and who can help you
You must be strategic and spend time learning other people's profiles
Trying to bolt on too many applications to make it like Facebook

: I like this article and agree with the comments made. Twitter takes time to master and there's no point in being on it 'just for the sake of it'. I know many people who follow lots of people, want lots of followers but add nothing and gain nothing. Twitter is a great way of contacting like minded people who you'd never connect with via facebook or LinkedIn - both of which have their strengths.

For me:

Twitter - best for contacts with people who share common interests or who inspire you personally and professionally. How else would you connect with people in Sydney and Boston who think like you?
facebook - great for catching up and reconnecting, sharing personal stuff
LinkedIn - essential for networking and maintaining contact with colleagues and professional links. Also good for online reputation management

I use them all

: "If you've never seen or used Twitter, simply go to http://search.twitter.com (or http://www.monitter.com) and type in your favorite search term. Maybe a name or two. You'll be amazed at the results.

Simply put, I now believe you can't ignore Twitter as part of your overall corporate social media strategy. Just like you can't ignore Google.

I had been postponing engaging with Twitter, and I was wrong."

: We've been using a corporate account at The Carphone Warehouse for some months now and had a lot of success with it. Our primary account www.twitter.com/carphoneware is used for communicating company news or contacting customers in need. Guy1067 is a personal account managed by one of my team who picks up customer service references to CPW and manages them through to a satisfactory conclusion if that's what the Twitterer wants. We don't 'sell' anything other than a means of communicating with a faceless company.

No-one asked me to set this up and if I had asked I expect I'd have been turned down as this is unknown territory. However, since we set this up in the Knowledge Management team our Corporate PR and Brand team are now on board and helping us share news about the company. Our partner companies TalkTalk (TalkTalkTips) and Geek Squad (GeeksquadUK) also have Twitter accounts. Use Twitter to hear what customers are saying about you. They'll be saying it anyway so it's important that you're aware.
