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. 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?

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.

With all of these cool online tools, it is time we think about our friends first, ourselves second, lest we find ourselves with fewer friends caring what we have to say. I am absolutely no blaming the tools. Like all tools, as long as people use them wisely and with others in mind, it can be a useful party of the online ecosystem.

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.

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 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.

This I attribute to a mix of tech intimidation and lack of practical information about basic online tools (all understandable) and a bit of prejudice (not OK).

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.
