Does Size Matter?

By //  by 

Size matters. Or does it? Isn’t it how you use it? I’ve been thinking about this a lot. The older I get, the bigger is my network. Throw in a dollop of Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections and Facebook ‘friends’ and the whole world could be my network. This is hugely exciting and absolutely paralysing overwhelming! I need a lie down.

 That clever chap Pareto said that 80% of your problems come from 20% of people, 80% of business come from 20% of your contacts. The key is working out the 20%. If your network is increasing fast, how can you keep up with who need to be culled, which contacts need to be nurtured and which is the 20% when it changes minute my minute.

 I think I shall go and live in a cave.

Tweet Tweet!

By //  by 

I did a session explaining social media recently. Here’s my layman’s explanation of how Twitter works: I follow you so you will follow me.  I thank you for following me. I retweet your tweets in the hope that you’ll retweet mine so I get more followers. I suggest my followers follow you if you support me, especially on a Friday. Still with me?

I share my miscellaneous thoughts as ‘tweets.’  These are the random thoughts occupying my headspace in the hope that you will spread them around the world virally and a celebrity will become my Twitter friend. The 140 characters tweet limit stops me from being verbose and boring the pants off you. I hope that by not selling, we will have a connection and it will lead to business, but subtly.  You can de-follow me at any time but I won’t know, so my ego is undented. Feeling fog free now about how Twitter works?

I wonder if people will start speaking in 140 character sound bites? Parents of teenagers might say that is already the case.  Could save a lot of time and increase productivity. Twitter enables you to connect with anyone, is free and if managed is a great tool and is the modern way to connect and get a job.

My Brain Is Exploding

By //  by 

 

My brain feels like it is either going to explode or implode. Why? Social media overload. Last week I read that half of companies have banned their employees from using Twitter. They think their employees are whiling away the hours on the company’s time leaking profit tweeting and posting on Facebook.  Maybe they are right. Are you? Managing social media is a hot topic.

Managing social media has creating new furrows in my brow, and there were too many already.  I have a love hate relationship with social media. I am a bit worried that both my head and my computer will explode as my Twitter followers grow and my Linked In connections increase. I am going to buy a mop. I love variety and new things so a messy grey matter explosion is a real possibility.  I have actually deleted some ‘friends; on Facebook to delay the explosion.  How am I going to find time to blog for you too??

I wonder if in future you will be able to book a minor operation to have some more brain megabytes added to cope with the exponential growth of social media. Managing social media is essential to stay sane. I worry about what impact social media has on communication, connection and happiness.   That topic is far too serious for a blog though.
