Joining up the Social Networking Dots
Until recently, social networking to me = Facebook. That was before I discovered Helium.com and through themessage boards, Twitter.
The past two months have been a steep learning curve, as the world of Social Media has opened up in front of me. Now, having got to grips with Twitter, and as a result of extensive research, I'm in the process of joiuning up the Social Networking dots.
I haven't yet joined all the major sites, but I'm working on it. Where sites offer the facility to connect an account on one site to accounts on others, I'm filling in the gaps.
Hopefully, by the end of the month I've have come full circle, and have a cohesive profile spanning as many of the social sites as possible.
The reasons for doing this, are of course, almost as complex as the connections between the sites.
First, I want to make staying up to date on multiple sites as seasy as possible for me.
I also want to increase exposure for my writing, and reach as wide an audience as possible.
But I also want to make it easy for those following me to make contact in multiple locations, and leave their comments for me at the point of impetus, rather than having to jump sites in order to connect.
Sure, it's about building a brand, and market reach, but it's also about being reachable and opening the door to conversation.
The question is, how to best manage all these points of connection seamlessly without reader comments slipping through the gaps.
