The Jackson's were jamming it out with their number one hit song "ABC, its easy as 1,2,3 (and all the little birdies sing...ABC)." Migrate from 1973 to 2009. We now have a new version of number one, though not in the form of a song, but rather a social phenom platform called Twitter http://www.twitter.com. You've read about it how many times? Now, it's time to get on board.
Sure MySpace http://www.myspace.com and Facebook http://www.facebook.com are still hot, but they have a much more personal edge. The latest and more user-friendly version is Twitter. And, I am especially sharing this with you professionals that are all about LinkedIn. Twitter, launched in 2006, is the easiest way to connect, network, and get your word out to the masses now consisting of 6 million users. PR? This is a great way to engage your own viral campaign. For you, your company, your business, your message. Regardless of age or niche, join now.
Public stalking opp? Well, that is one valid POV. We are human beings and we live in the viral world. Being connected and watching people is what we do. We just don't have the rubber necking online that occurs in real life.
A message, or tweet, consists of 140 characters (max) -- so, it's easy to keep followers updated on your activities all from your phone, or computer. Our lives, as big and as exciting as we would like to portray, get broken down into minutia of what we are up to moment by moment. In 140 characters or strokes. I am following entrepreneurs - local and national. I am also following President Obama, Marti Barletto, Delia Passi, Katie Couric, Starbucks, and others. For now, I passed on following Jane Fonda but am following Martha Stewart. And some great Mommy bloggers & sites.
Matt, Barbara, Kelly, Lisa, Carl, Kate, Bob, Andi, Richard, Jill, Suzanne, Amy, George, Tachel, Rasheda, Michelle, Yvonne, David, Thomas, Laurie, Nicholas, Andrea, Deborah, Sheila, etc, etc, etc -- please check it out. Get yourself an account, takes 2 minutes and start engaging. The world, and I, are waiting!
