Social or Social Media?
May 2nd, 2008 | Published in Networking
With all the hype on Social Media, I feel like there is one thing that can tend to be lost. That is the fact that we have to actually be SOCIAL, for social media to work.
This tends to show it self that so many people are Twittering Away, and posting their blogs, and writing notes on Facebook, meeting people through LinkedIn, adding new locations on BrightKite, that we forget about face-to-face interactions.
I find the face-to-face interactions come from things like PodCamps. This is where many bloggers, companies, and many social networkers come together to find new ideas, new topics, and discuss the many happenings of Web 2.0.
My point today is that these many Social Applications should really try to interconnect these many groups within their online communities, similar to PodCamps. Though with Facebook, this could come to true “Facebook Stalking”. But point being, let’s not forget our true interactions, discussions and conversations that really keep people tied together.
