June 2010 seems like an eternity ago when I took initiative and created a LinkedIn Group to share strategies and tips in social media marketing. Over time, people none of us knew searched LinkedIn for keywords about social media marketing and also joined the group. They did that, and they told their friends.

Juli Monroe, commenting on my article the other day about dogs and social media , asked about networking with cats. It’s a mildly interactive site — but it’s clear to me the people visiting have a clear grasp on how to share what they like with their friends. Related posts: How Dogs Use Social Media.

If you have ever attempted to distribute a standard press release to users of social media web sites, you are likely very familiar with the problems that it suffered. This is because, no matter how hard you try, the typical social media generation will find your release spammy, boring and perhaps illegitimate.

We use social networking sites for different reasons, but it is crucial to grasp the WHY. We owe it to ourselves to continue doing things — raking leaves, running errands, posting status messages on social networking sites — on our own schedules and for our own reasons.

It’s a constant struggle for me to find signals in a sea of social media noise. The coronavirus crisis throws a giant obstacle into my social following strategies because of two reasons: First, I don’t want to tune out people who I care about but I also don’t want my newsfeed filled with politics and sensationalism.

Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, LinkedIn, MySpace, Foursquare… These are examples of social networking sites, but you knew that. Is social media that good? You can use social media to communicate with others, but does it really have the same value as a proper conversation? Are you better off because of them?

What this means is if we’re friends on the site, either you’re appearing in the news feed or you’re not, depending how strongly you care about me. Social media is diluting. To some, social media replaces blog commenting. I don’t know what “knowing a person” means anymore.

Six years on Facebook and three years on Twitter taught me a valuable lesson: social networking sites are about more than being social and can be the impetus for business, income, and relationships. But I won’t be posting updates on either site for the foreseeable future. This may last a week, or a month, or longer.

I started blogging in 2004 on a LiveJournal site when I wrote about everything under the sun. And in an age of social media when nobody has time or desire to read long-form content on a mobile screen, maybe I should aim to write content (and any content, at that) that can be easily digested on that screen.

In an industry that is centered around building relationships, real estate is a prime candidate for social media success. However, many real estate agents use Facebook, Twitter, and other sites merely as another platform of ‘marketing’ by advocating their listings without providing further value to their audience.
