Musing of the Month ~ Social Media and Networking
by Lisa Manyon, www.lisamanyon.com
It’s official! I LOVE Facebook!
Coming from a traditional media background, it took me a while to fully catch on.
I read about Facebook months ago. Set up an account and then did nothing with it. Then, the buzz picked up again and I decided to check it out.
Here’s what I found:
- Facebook is a great place to get to know people on a “real” level (if you choose to do so)
- There are tons of valuable resources right at your fingertips
- It’s a great place to upload photos while you’re on vacation so everyone can enjoy your trip
- There are certain rules of etiquette you should acquaint yourself with before randomly adding friends
- You can start your own Green Patch and help save the rain forests
- Cultivating genuine, social relationships does equate to tangible business opportunities
- It’s fun! Follow your favorite musicians and become a fan today!
This is just a short list of what Facebook has to offer. Go forth and explore and let me know what you discover.
I urge you to check it out (if you haven’t already) and definitely become my friend online (I know, we’re already friends here but we can really learn more about one another on Facebook).
So go ahead, be SOCIAL. Join a group, start a fan page and discover how many of your friends and mentors are already tapped into this medium.
