The power of social media is including everyone else and using their collective creativity to build something new - not just talking about yourself and selling get rich quick schemes.
Have you ever thought about making a Facebook page the actual home page for your business? Sounds a little crazy huh? Well, maybe it isn't so far fetched.
When I look back at all of the posts I have written recently, across various blogging sites (including this one), one theme is clear – I love to hate on Twitter. Here I’m at it again with reaction to Project Retweet – a half baked attempt at turning an already flawed process into standard functionality...
First and foremost, I HATE the term social media expert, or rockstar. When I read about people claiming to be experts in the social web it makes me want to gouge my eyes out. Being smart and helpful is like, well, being smart and helpful. Recycling "do unto others as they would do unto you"...
I now have a zero tolerance policy for following certain groups of people on Twitter. Worst of all? It might be personal.
I want to discuss an angle and offer a potential solution for reinventing Twitter into a tool which can be useful, monetized and ultimately, meet the needs of the people who use it every day.
