First Facebook, Now What?
A few days ago I wrote about how I finally jumped on the Facebook bandwagon.
Since then as you probably know, I’ve been connecting with lots of people for networking and friendship purposes.
It’s a great way to build relationships and get in contact with other like-minded business folks, any one of who could be the missing link in a future (or present) project of yours.
So if you haven’t done so, I suggest you start looking at your own clients and associates and begin hooking up with them on Facebook as well.
I’m not talking about a “personal social” setup similar to MySpace and other sites. After all, you can set up your Facebook profile to be as professional-looking as you like.
I see some big things ahead for Facebook, BUT…
There’s another phenomenon that’s been around for a bit, but lately seems to be taking the online world by storm.
I’m talking about Twitter.
If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it’s sort of a “mini-blog” you can publish in real-time, as you go about
doing things in your business and life in general.
In fact, Twitter originally started as a platform to text messages from your mobile phone to let the world at large know what you were doing at any given moment.
I know it sounds kind of silly at first glance. In fact, I originally thought so too. But after seeing what some of my friends and colleagues were doing with it, I can tell that it has the power to be a tremendous business and marketing tool.
Unlike where your email subscribers and clients get your email messages (which have to hurdle their way through spam filters and other obstacles), in Twitter your friends and associates can choose to “follow” what you’re doing and get targeted messages delivered to the device of their choosing. No more spam filters.
You can also follow what other marketers are doing as they post links to videos and other resources in real-time.
In fact, you can even link Twitter and Facebook together (just do a search on Facebook for “Twitter” for the Facebook application that let’s you do that.. or go here).
And like Facebook, Twitter doesn’t cost a nickel to join or use.
So if you’re not on Twitter, I’d check it out. If you want to see what I’m up to in my day-to-day activities and get information I don’t make available anywhere else, you can connect with me here.
Just click on the “Follow” button under my picture.
And if you or anyone you know would like to connect with me on Facebook as well, you can do so here.
