There has definitely become a trend in my blog recently: social media. Since you have been dying to know even more than you already do about the absolutely amazingness of social media, and don't worry because we will be covering them (all), but the time has come to discuss different parts. I could probably talk about social media all day, but I want to open the discussion for Twitter.
In a presentation I went to recently given by Nick Dragon, he broke down the three main social mediums for us, and this is how he categorized it:
Facebook = Friends (more personal)
LinkedIn = Professionals (no explanation needed... yet)
Twitter = Awesomeness (everything that doesn't fit into the other two)
Since you want to find excuses to network as a communications professional, Twitter raises awareness of you. It explains you. It can assist others.
Some advice for the new Twitter fiend: do not get discouraged if no one follows you at first. You have to follow people. You have to post on your Twitter. You have to provide a reason for people other than the ones who truly love you (Mother) to follow what you are doing... at every second of the day. Do NOT abuse the power of Twitter awesomeness unless you are willing to lose credibility.
