Reply Barbara Saunders says: May 7, 2009 at 9:01 am There are many alumni groups on LinkedIn. I’m sure many older people have joined those groups and not bothered to sign up for the school’s alumni Web site. The value of groups is often overlooked on LinkedIn. New grads can meet their fellows on LinkedIn.

How secure should I feel when using Facebook’s privacy settings to determine which groups of friends can or cannot see particular photos? I’m sure this has been going on since the early days of humans interacting and forming communities. No, gathering with our friends, sharing news and planning events is not new.

When my work does take me away from the computer, it’s usually to speak to a group interested in learning how to use technology to more effectively connect with others. Because the focus of my work revolves around social media, it isn’t surprising that most of it is done while sitting in front of a computer.

Do you try to keep up with groups and fan pages that you join on Facebook? Reply Ann Scott says: March 5, 2010 at 9:07 pm I must be missing something here because when I go to my pages section or my groups, I do not see a way to add lists. Organize them in a way which makes your favorite content easier to find. Was this tip helpful?

Chances are that you’re one of the over 300 million people who have set-up a virtual home on Facebook because it is a great place to keep up with family and friends, as well as connecting with businesses and groups of interest. It is also a place filled with fascinating information – blog posts, videos, photos and news articles.

The magic really begins to happen when you are able to use Twitter on-the-go on your phone, build groups of people who seem most interesting to you, or share photos and files through Twitter. It allows you to post messages (or “tweets&# ), view tweets from people you’re following and run a search on everyone’s tweets.

A finely-tuned marketing and social media strategy which creates a level of buzz, but isn’t matched by the actual experience or product in real life will do nothing other than create a group of disappointed, and likely vocal, customers. Have you seen examples of brands using social media well or others missing the mark?

Then, I realized we could have a little fun with this and allowed my thoughts to wander to an older form of communication – radio. Is it really new to wonder why some other group is invading “your&# space? Does technology “belong&# to any one group or generation? Are Facebook and Twitter just the new radio?

Reading the list of LeWeb Official Bloggers , you’ll quickly note that it is a diverse group, coming from many different countries. There was the static web, the social web and now here comes a new web: the real-time web. In addition to me, there are two others invited from the United States. What an enormous honor it is to be selected!

People use this tool in many different ways, and for those of us who are particularly active, our own investment in the community is a reflection of our real-life engagement. A defriending or privacy lock-down can feel just that tiny bit more personal for us than it might for another. Hope that makes sense! Debi Reply Percy ??????

Creating that safe environment where the only agenda is helping each other, thereby gaining more for yourself than could be imagined, is one of the key concepts behind the groups I lead. It’s amazing how connecting people from all over the country eliminates the *competition* that is normally felt in networking groups.

I know; I took some of them using their cameras and cell phones so they could all get into the group shots. For these scantily-clad partiers, there are photos to think about, lots of photos. There is no doubt in my mind that many of those photos were already uploaded to Facebook and shared with friends.

Tweeters that I have traded many @replies with get into my “persons of interest&# group in TweetDeck. Yep, I use TweetDeck: I’ve got 6 columns: stream, @, DM, plus two groups: (persons of interest and news tweets) plus another search column for my interests. My only question is which column am I in?

The former group will hopefully learn from its mistakes. I’m also happy that Karen shared the post with her community. Some of these individuals may simply be inexperienced and overly eager to make a sale, while others are completely self-absorbed, insensitive, and uninterested in the needs of the other person.

Most pre-arranged meetings have had some form or electronic communication anyway. When I do large group meetings I simply put my email on the overhead.
