Who have you added to your facebook or linked in lately. Has it happened to you, that you send an invite to someone, and for a long time they dont accept. A business contact more powerful in the social blogging pecking order chooses to add you one day. All of a sudden this person who was not wanting to add you now suddenly adds you as a friend. Once an outcase, becomes a friend.
There seems to be this interesting pattern we humans behave in the the online world. Pre facebook and linked in if you talk to someone, no one knew. In the new web 2.0 era it seems like we all demonstrate a new kind of behavior for which none of us have been schooled for.
There are etiquette’s for eating in a business meeting or in a meeting. But there is none so far in the workd of web 2.0
Every day we get up to a new kind of news, no not the ones like there is a war in Iraq.
Nowadays my headlines read
… is having a headache.
Here is a odd headline: finally got “lei’d” in Hawaii!:)…
… opened a bottle of wine
…. is needing a person to play music
In the new world i seem to be getting too much information sharing. When you really meet that person, now you build a certail perception of them based on the web 2.0 etiquette. People tend to carry sort of similar behavior on the web 2.0 world as they do in real life.
Some crazy folks i know tend to show the same behavior on these sites.
I added a friend and his wife the other day. The moment i added the wife , two other friends jumped on to connect with me to get into the gossip.
This is really funny. The new web2.0 soap. Who is chatting what with someone is now of atmost importance to us.
At the same time , I and my wife get to meet some really old lost friends whom we would not have met , but for these social media.
The new marketing and Sales strategy is called Linked In Selling. Just watch who your friends are adding.Go behind those guys. It takes year to build contacts and we expose those contacts faily easily to others to see. Have we ever thought about the effort it took to build that relationship.
It is interesting how we behave socially on the social media. Run run, your friends and competitors are chasing you:)
Beware before you get lost too deep in this complex network:)
Wait let me know go and twitter and facebook that i just wrote this article.
