Do you know the way to San Jose?

posted by Terri Morrin

I’m heading west this week. A quick trip to Silicon Valley. I’ll be joining about 250 other people seeking wisdom in our fast-paced, technology-laden lifestyles. It’s the inaugural Wisdom 2.0 Conference…

WisdomLogo“The question for most of us is not if we will use the technologies of our age, from cell phones to social media, the question is how can we do so with mindfulness, meaning, and wisdom?

The Wisdom 2.0 conference is an event that brings together technology leaders from companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter, along with Zen teachers, neuroscientists, and others to explore how we can live in greater balance with, and more successfully use, the great technologies of our age.”

I think I might use a Social Media tool to keep my Fans (I mean “Likers”) updated. Follow me on twitter @terrimorrin

What’s not to “Like” about Facebook?

posted by Terri Morrin

I feel like Sally Field….”You like me! You like me! You really like me!”

Here’s what Facebook has to say about it:
Why did “Become a Fan” change to “Like”?
To improve your experience and promote consistency across the site, we’ve changed the language for Pages from “Fan” to “Like.” We believe this change offers you a more light-weight and standard way to connect with people, things and topics in which you are interested.

What does it mean to “Like” a Page?
When you click “Like” on a Page, you are making a connection to that Page. The Page will be displayed in your profile, and in turn, you will be displayed on the Page as a person who likes that Page. The Page will also be able to post content into your News Feed.

Is there a difference between “Liking” an item a friend posts and “Liking” a Page?
Yes. Liking a Page means you are connecting to that Page. When you connect to a Page, it will appear in your profile and you will appear on the Page as a person who likes that Page. The Page will also be able to post content into your News Feed. On the other hand, when you click “Like” on a piece of content that a friend posts, you are simply letting your friend know that you like it without leaving a comment.

7 surest ways to get UNFOLLOWED on Twitter

posted by john miles 5

A few observations on Twitter behavior that might get one un-followed (of course

images

opinions vary on this):

1. The Gatling-Gun

More than 15 posts a day would qualify as GG.  Share the conversation, don’t hog it.

2. The Multi-Conversationist

Many people on Twitter mistake public replies for Direct Message. There is a direct message function for a reason – to keep one to one conversations one to one. Nothing wrong with an occasional “shout-out”, but if all your tweets are running conversations with 50 people the rest of your followers might get bored and unfollow.

3. The Center of the Universe

This is the Twitter type who posts everything they are doing. Breakfast included. If the focus is all on yourself, you run the risk of getting un-followed. Be generous – share what others are doing, or cool things you have found.
