Making the Connections

Wednesday was an interesting morning.

After attending a Social Media Seminar put on by some of my friends at the Asher Agency, I visited a couple more places including friends at the Chamber of Commerce and friends at a couple more advertising agencies, website developers and media buyers.

Everywhere I went, people knew me.

Not everyone of course, but enough that it is now common place for this to happen.

And this is what I believe Social Media is all about.

Put yourself out there. Be yourself. Be kind. Be human. Have fun.

Also:

Beware.

Others are watching you, you cannot pretend without being caught as a fake, fraud or pretender.

You will be found out.

The Social Connections that become face to face connections are priceless.

And now the chicken or the egg questions regarding social relationships doesn't matter.

Do you meet someone for the first time face to face or online?

Doesn't really matter as long as you are genuine.

Next week, we'll take a few days and look at Social Media for Business with some guest posts.
