I’ve been gratified and a little puzzled by some of the people who follow me on Twitter (or any other social network for that matter). I did a little rough surveying of my Twitter friends and it seems there are really only a few ways people make the decision to follow or not follow on Twitter. Those days are over chum.

This morning I had a conversation with a friend about Google+ and it’s a conversation I used to have about Twitter. I used to say this to people about Twitter, and now I find people have exactly the same issue with Google+. They expect to sign up and immediately be inundated with vibrant, intelligent conversation!

Any good sales person gets to know their market first and how their product solves their pain points. Even if they don’t use social media to connect with the person they will call and make an appointment, have a short conversation about the prospects’ needs and maybe even buy lunch first before they start asking for the sale.

I had a very interesting conversation with a Facebook application developer today. Do you see really engaged conversations or simply reactions to a post from the brand or other members? Sure the big brands are using Facebook pages more than ever, but are they doing it for community or marketing? Look to Twitter.

I was part of a discussion on Twitter this morning around this post of George Snell’s.” Some CEO’s can’t create content either, and they let their marketing person do it for them. Some are great conversation wranglers, s**t-disturbers even. ” Community Management Isn’t Content Creation. (go

It may sound like a recipe for disaster for any CEO edgy enough to take center stage in a content marketing strategy…except when it works. A quick look at his Twitter stream will demonstrate, it’s not just lip service, he’s actively engaged. Find him on Twitter , Google+ or read more from him on his blog: Sword and the Script.

People are constantly dissing this particular network even though it really has more intelligent conversation going on than many other networks. I like to say Google+ combines the best of Twitter and Facebook on one network. you’ve got a better conversation. Google+ is worth the effort. The SEO card.

I follow almost 4,000 people on Twitter , over 1500 on Linkedin , and more on Facebook , Google+ , blogs , forums, a zillion social networks, wikis and more. By this I don’t mean you are constantly pushing out your marketing messaging and talking about business. Turn off Twitter. Check the mirror. Get a plan.

FYI profile images link to Twitter and names link to blogs or websites. When crafting a strategy for nonprofits, don’t assume the folks who ‘like’ you in Facebook are also going to follow you on Twitter or take the same type of actions.
