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.

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. The site is well organized, allowing you to search for an app by category, read reviews and share your own experiences with the apps you’ve used.

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. Connect the online and offline worlds: Most of your activities and content should have both online and offline components woven seamlessly together.

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.

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?

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?

When I do large group meetings I simply put my email on the overhead. Alphabetical organizers are iffy because they require me to remember the person’s name or business name to find them again. I’d imagine that you primarily deal with a very tech savvy group who are comfortable with your approach.

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 ??????
