Why I like social media more and more
I haven’t jumped entirely on the social media bandwagon just yet. Sure, I have a Facebook and LinkedIn account, I StumbleUpon some interesting sites when I’m bored, I’m a pretty regular tweeter and of course there’s this blog. But it’s not that I’ve created or are willing to create a profile on every new site that pops up. Like many I find that social media takes away alot of your time (even though I use the excellent Hootsuite to manage most of my accounts) and it’s not always evident if spending all that time is worth your while. However my time spend on it has given me more insights in how to use it and how it can be usefull. Let me give you an example.
One of the people I follow on Twitter is Aaron Lee. In one of his tweets he asked if there were any questions about Twitter he could answer. I replied with a question and he was so kind to pick it up and answer it extensively in this blog post.
So here’s a guy that has around 150.000 followers, writes and shares great content about social media and just picks a (what I hope he thought was a good) question from some random guy and turns it into an informative piece of writing which answered my question. If you want to have an example of “the power of social media”, I think one like this is it. And this power is the main reason I start liking it more and more.
