At last!
NOW is when it starts to get REALLY INTERESTING!!
What does??….Social Media!
For too long social media, and in particular Twitter, has been one long love-in…Woodstock, peace and love, one great happening…we’ve been awesome, we’ve been rockstars, we’ve loved everything everyone has written…
…or have we?? Is it just that no-one has wanted to make the first move to shoot from the hip, tell it like it is?
Suddenly it’s all changing…there’s Debate! Opinion! Disagreement! Argument!
What we say on Social Media? Who reads it? How do they interpret it? How do they judge it? Are they snooping or are they sourcing? Do they hire or do the fire because of it?
…and guess what…we don’t all agree with each other! Yay!
All of us…
…the employed, the self-employed, the under-employed and the unemployed…
…consultants, advisors, directors, experts, gurus, enthusiasts, commentators, copywriters, marketers, coaches, trainers, conference organisers and conference disorganisers…
…blogging, microblogging and guest blogging…
Debates are starting…
This morning a debate started at 5am (UK time) about use of social media websites for referencing…it spread from Australia to UK to US….and it’s still going…and we don’t agree…
Follow it Andy Headworth’s blog…the comments are long and passionate
And a new thread is staring courtesy of this morning’s blog from Aaron Dodd
Then turn to Alasdair Murray’s blog ‘A Job Description Isn’t a Sales Tool’ and look at the range of comments, the disagreements, and the tangental diversions!!!
Then there’s Felix Wetzel’s excellent blog…he posted about communities, Bill Boorman didn’t agree and was offered a guest blog to reply…and the debate twists and turns and rages on
In my opinion, this is what it should be…honest debate, lots of opinion, theories debunked, ideas written about and read and absorbed…
This is the conversation we ALL need to be a part of
