As you know there has been some controversy over Facebook of late. The young man Mark Zuckerberg, who if the face behind Facebook is being interviewed in the video below by Matt Lauer. I won’t go into the details which are in the video. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in on the matter. I spend equal time on Twitter and Facebook. I enjoy both as each has a different feel and purpose. Twitter is short and sweet with the content contained in a very small space. Facebook shares many applications, photos, galleries, fan pages, blogs, profiles, gifts, gardens, You Tube and pretty much anything you can come up with. A virtual playground. There was controversy around Facebook owning the rights to Facebook users personal information. What happens when the playground is redesigned? Many people take offense, don’t like change (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.) Others love it and then there is every opinion in between, because we all have them. Enjoy the video and make up your own mind.
It is easy to go on a social networking site to follow or be followed. My intention is to meet and greet each person I follow with a message (not automated.) What happened to quality versus quantity? My goal is not to add people for numbers sake, but to connect with real people – one by one. Granted, this takes much longer. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is my way. No judgment. Just letting you now how I roll. There are 2 new books about all things Twitter. I would like to share them with you. Twitter Revolution by Deborah Micek and Warren Whitlock has great info, is fun and upbeat. The glossary of Twitter Terms are golden, some great humor and wit involved. Deborah and Warren teach you how to Tweet, to use Twitter for business/how to benefit. There are even Twitter Success Stories in the “Real World.”
Twitter Power is written by Joel Comm on How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time. This book is packed with ways to leverage the power of Twitter. This book is more business oriented. The information is timely and valuable for branding, business, marketing strategies, increasing sales and dealing with competitors. You get the idea. I recommend purchasing both books to learn about the power of social networking as they are both excellent. This is the future. Don’t be left behind, your business my depend on it.
