How are you using, or do you expect to use, the new “mentions&# feature on Facebook?

The number of businesses on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and YouTube is mind-boggling, but the real question is how many of them are using the tools wisely? Anyone who tells you that if you do X [some social media task], you will achieve Y [specific number of Facebook fans, % increase in sales, etc.]

What’s that you say: LinkedIn is really just Facebook for old people? 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. It’s your future knocking.

This can range from posting photos on Facebook from an offline event to holding live events online allowing a large group the opportunity to interact in real-time, and everything in between. The fish are on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube; not on your website. They might even be heavy Facebook users.

Ditto for you and a group of your best friends or you riding your bike. Use the same photo on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube channel, your blog, etc. If you must have a profile photo with your puppy/baby/surfboard/bottle of wine/cigar/goat , keep it on Facebook and only on Facebook. You are in good company.

We connect on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, IM chat and (surprise, surprise) sometimes we even talk on the telephone. 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. Why hadn’t we talked?

I’ll go out on a limb and submit for your consideration that no one from the Baby Boomer generation used social media online as a child, that many under the age of 30 (or so) used computers early in life and the younger ones in that group were texting, Facebooking, and LOLing while still in elementary school.
