Another Use for Social Media

Sorry for the blog break, but I’ve been tied up with some other issues, including the ongoing name selection process. Suggestions still welcome.
I know it’s nice outside, finally, so I’ll be brief. I was going to write about an article that caught my eye, but while I was combing through the sites I usually visit for an appropriate article, I started getting IMd by a young man that I’d met at a networking event and subsequently accepted a facebook request from.
It was a short chat that let me further explain my company, and ended with an agreement to stay in touch and with me adding him to my newsletter list.
Maybe we’ll work together, maybe we won’t. But, it’s an important reminder that even if you don’t have a ‘social media’ strategy or any desire to build a company page, it’s worth being in those places.
At their most basic, social media platforms are (free) communications channels, and there’s no reason to close them off.
