Question: Why do you think EVERYBODY is joining Facebook and/or twitter?
As for myself, I truly ENJOY connecting with old friends and family members
as well as meeting new ones. I like being able to learn new things of interest
to myself and others. I could elaborate on these points indefinitely, but the
point of this blog is to find out why YOU (and others) think Social Media is
taking off like crazy.
Please post your comments here so that I, and anyone else reading this, can
learn from your personal experience, insights and opinions on this subject.
Thanks in advance for your participation,
Rick Clark

PS-As a future follow-up to this blog, I plan to summarize and post the most
interesting and popular results. Thanks Again!

Branding Youeself Without Offending Others
What are the best ways of "Branding Yourself" through Social Media without running the risk of offending family members and friends (or even new connections who don't know you well)?
Lately, I have been building my lists of friends and followers on the various Social Media sites, simultaneously "Branding Myself" through various associations, connections, tweets and posts. To find new like-minded individuals and groups to connect to (and monitor) I use several free services including: "SocialOomph" Twello and Tweepi.
Invariably, after posting specific comments, links or tweets two things always happen.
First, I gain more new requests for connections, friends and followers. It is the second activity, however that is the subject of this post-that is, simultaneously losing friends and followers as well. To receive e-mail notifications whenever someone stops following me on twitter, I use "Quitter" http://useqwitter.com/
Obviously, if someone loses Social Media friends and followers soon after posting a certain comment or tweet, that person has somehow "offended" the "unfollowers."
I guess, as the song says, "You can't please everyone, so you have to please yourself . . . ."
As my ultimate goal here is to find ways to reduce the number of "Quitters," your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to add any links to helpful articles, groups, apps or services. Thanks. http://card.ly/rcl4rk
