Remember Chicken Little said the Sky is falling. Now birds are falling from the sky. Enter Twitter. Keep the birds flying. Vote with me. In The Shorty Awards.
Part of Social Media strategy is being social. Standing in solidarity.
Part of networking is meeting people and the other part is building relationships.
Part of building the relationships is referring, helping, matching like-minded problem-solvers with another.
And part of promotion is winning awards. Generally, my company has survived 30 years without going after them, but there are some new ones now that pique my interest.
One such is The Shorty Awards : http://shortyawards.com. It salutes those who excel at Twitter -- interesting tweets, making a difference, making money, raising money.
Twitter is one of those practices that you either love or hate. I'm on the positive side because as LeaderHuntress, I'm finding new people in my micro-niche areas of expertise that I haven't found previously. I'm not sure if it's the abbreviated way of staying in touch and on top of things- but people are out there creating strategies and making incredible comments on Twitter. The last Presidential election was won through Twitter. It's all good.
People lose their inhibitions on Twitter- --maybe because it's short and fast and maybe you will miss it -- but anyway. Take note, my Twitter friends. Vote with me for some fine social media professionals. You're my friend; they're my friends; Vote with me:
