[U2] Social Networks for MV
I'm on a mini campaign to make more MV colleagues aware of the benefits of using Twitter and other social media.

Tony, I read the blog, but remain unmoved. I think that embracing social media weakens/dilutes/reduces the focus of the brand. If the purpose is to promote Bob Wyatt or Tony Gravagno, use social media to the fullest extent you desire. If the purpose of your web presence is to promote the brand (Nebula Research or Ashwood Computer, Inc. (my employer)), there should be as few web locations as possible. Whomever is doing the searching is interested in authoritative/reliable information - finding the information on facebook, twitter, and the like, I hope, will never ever be regarded as authoritative or reliable (in my opinion). If I want to know what Nebula Research can do for me, facebook and twitter are not on by radar as possible destinations to find out. I'm not inclined to go there even for references - I would get references from Nebula Research, not what followers of Tony (or Nebula Research) had to say on facebook or twitter. I even find the technical questions being asked (and answered) on LinkedIn as being in bad form. That isn't what LinkedIn is for. It is a narrow view, and I realize that it may not be a popular one. I'm in front of a computer more than 10 hours a day, and when I need information, I need authoritative/reliable information. And, of course, Twitter and facebook can be a huge time-vacuum - lots of time and little reward. All of the above is my personal opinion, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of my employer...

Re: [U2] Social Networks for MV
I don't want to offend my friend Tony, but I have to agree with Bob. I don't trust anything I see on Facebook, and I won't even look at Twitter. The only reason I'm on Facebook at all is to keep in touch with family and friends, and to promote my store a little. I don't do as much of that as people think I should, but I simply don't have the time or inclination to become a Facebook junkie. Sorry, Tony.

Re: [U2] Social Networks for MV
I actually agree with Tony but for a number of different reasons. Sure, there are some who won't go to FB or Twitter or Linked In, and that's perfectly fine, but there are others who will. More importantly, I believe there is value in having the widest swath of distributed information out there for people to find. And while I highly respect TG for all he knows and does, anything that helps him limit his thoughts to a micro- format has some value. :-) (Tony, I hope you know I'm not dissing on you; I just wish I had more time to read and digest every word.) -K On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 4:11 PM, Tony Gravagno 3xk547...@sneakemail.comwrote: I'm on a mini campaign to make more MV colleagues aware of the benefits of using Twitter and other social media.
