Ari Herzog´s last blog. The reason I am very adamant about using these services is because they generate leads, conversation and business. It definitely adds to the conversation! I have several connections on LinkedIn that do not use Twitter and occasionally they will start conversations based upon my tweets.

Not only have I heard and seen a zillion blog posts and news reports about the latest Facebook changes in the hours following the press conference, many of the posts were even published during the press conference – all indicative of the frenzy to cover all things Facebook. Or so it seems. New Groups.

Monitor our conversations? We see them online on Facebook and Twitter, though we’re not always quite sure what they’re doing there. Are they there to sell products? Reply to customer complaints? Are the same strategies they’re using applicable to small businesses without the same brand recognition?

This blog post isn’t about what happened. Brand missteps are shared at viral speeds, meaning that with each passing moment, the number of people who are joining the conversation about the misstep increases exponentially. One well-known, household brand had a bad thing happen last night. Hang in there; allow me to explain.

Say what: I’ve heard people of all ages use text-speak in conversation. Trust me, it’s a special experience to hear LOL or WTF during a conversation. I get this, but I don’t get why I see these same abbreviations in emails or other communications.

This may likely be your blog or website. This will often begin a conversation. People ask for travel recommendations, advice how to fix a problem with their blog and everything in-between. It tells people that you’re not even trying. - Add a short bio. You’ll soon be off and running (uhm…tweeting).

Facebook users know that this is where the magic happens – all the news, gossip, updates and conversation. It’s a gentle reminder to never make assumptions when it comes to technological intermediaries for conversation. Why would she have blocked me? Had I done something to offend her? Was I wrong?

I didn’t grow up reading blogs or surfing the net. While I frequently speak about the virtual world, blogging is completely new to me. I recently took a leap of faith, establishing a self-hosted blog using wordpress.org. Setting up the new blog isn’t as different an experience as one may think.

I chose a more low-key approach and connected with friends over quiet dinners and had actual conversations. Prior to heading to Austin, I read a blog suggesting that SXSW attendees password-protect their phones to prevent any unauthorized access. Whatever your style, know that there are options and do what feels right.

conversation comes along. Scanning…now that is my pet peeve but sometimes there are distractions, so I guess in that case, you would just have to say sorry and express genuine interest to re-establish the conversation.
