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.

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

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?

I had already been a huge LinkedIn user and advocate for years prior to this and, similarly, was frequently asked to help others learn how to best use the tool. It’s amazing how connecting people from all over the country eliminates the *competition* that is normally felt in networking groups.

If you send an update to a select group but you don’t make it your default, the people who are excluded will still be able to get to your wall but won’t see the specific post. The problem occurs when you customize the default setting in your update box. Hope that makes sense! Debi Reply Percy ??????

I know; I took some of them using their cameras and cell phones so they could all get into the group shots. I marveled at how they were able to stay atop those five-inch stiletto heels, despite the obvious challenges in pay. For these scantily-clad partiers, there are photos to think about, lots of photos.

You cannot be one person on LinkedIn (the hire-me-I’m-very-accomplished professional) and another on Twitter (the I’m-posting-endlessly-about-every-mundane-detail-of-my-life tweeter). If you don’t have your own site, it can be a link to your profile on LinkedIn (assuming you’ve completed your profile there).

In addition to my own site URL and email address, I include URLs to find me on LinkedIn and Twitter. Granted, sharing the link to your Twitter feed may not be for everyone, but every professional should have and promote their LinkedIn presence. When I do large group meetings I simply put my email on the overhead.

There will be a handful in the middle; those who can see both sides, but there won’t be many of you in this third group. Just over a year ago, LinkedIn introduced a feature allowing users to post all of their Twitter updates , also known as tweets, to LinkedIn. That said, bring on the controversy.

Or, how intrigued you were with the idea of posting every single update to all of your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn friends simultaneously? Most of these applications were designed by third parties, which means that even though we use them on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, they were created by people outside these companies.

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.
