Your social life with Social Media Networks
Have you joined facebook, twitter, flickr, etc? If yes, then your social life is quite active. Since the birth of web 2.0, lot of sites struggle to be notice and cater different services to get notice. One thing I liked about these web 2.0 sites is that you can connect and use them at the same time. That’s how social media became popular. One voice could be heard by anyone from everywhere in the world. Being on the social media phenomenon means that you have to be social; for your social life to go active you should:
- Have a good avatar. You should stand out on the social crowd. Avatars could help you to have a social identity. Pictures are more easily remembered within the network you are connected with. It could be a picture of yourself, a logo of your company, or just a caricature that could tell more about you.
- Have a consistent profile. Being social could simply mean that you are on some social networking sites. Be consistent on your profile to avoid misconceptions of you and what you do. You could have the same usernames on your profiles so that your friends can easily find and connect to you.
- Join social networks where your friends are. Don’t just be everywhere. Yes, there are a lot of social media sites growing fast each day but you don’t have to be on it. Just pick a few sites that interest you, and where you could find most of your friends and then establish yourself.
- Participate. You are on the social media sites where your friends are and the next thing you do is to participate. Just vote, rate and comment on your friend’s articles, videos, etc. Share something to let them know your social presence!
