It has been a surprise! I expected a bunch of jibber jabber and useless minute tweets to be just urging access to my day. But it's so much more.
One of the articles I read recently suggested: Social Media will be the cause of your needs finding you instead of you finding your needs. That is so true!
If you are a cave dweller, then you probably don't get many visitors, and those may well consider you to be a dead end (your network stops here.) But if you are open to visiting others and encourage visitations, then others may well consider that you are worth knowing (they will be expanding their network).
Similarly, if you are in a cave and have no visitors, then you would have to go out and find those things you need (Ok, so a cave dweller may not need much, but then they don't give back much either.) Whereas, if you invite people to visit (join social networks) then you'll receive info that may well contain the leads to the things you need.
So. This morning I was looking through my new Twitter account and found some great articles from Inc. Magazine, articles that I would have searched for had I thought of the need. And this was the surprise! The social media brought some needs to me instead of my having to go out and dig out those needs.
Now, it may work out that after a while, my thoughts may change, but for right now, I'm impressed!
So open the door to your cave (duh!) and start inviting others, you'll find that your needs are reachable right at your doorstep (oh oh, another duh! no doorsteps!)
Let me know if you tweet.
Paul.
