Today I attended a breakfast meeting at MiM, the speakers where two people I know; Jetmira in class KM08 and a co-worker Anders Printz. They were talking about social media and networking. How it works and why we should use it but foremost HOW we should use it!
The lecture was fully booked and was really interesting! For all you teachers out there, take a moment and listen to the younger generation J You might discover the future is already here!
For me personally, I use LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter. And these I have connected to each other as well as my blog. Why so many networks? It is all about how I use them. Facebook is for friends and family, LinkedIn is a professional network, my blog is my communication as a program manger for Creative Marketing at Academedia and twitter is an additional micro blog. Getting a bit complicated? It isn’t! Trust me!
If you are new to this, start out with a planning strategy! Why should you be anywhere, how can you use it to your advantage and what do you want to accomplish? Simple….result!
As everything else, be clear in your communication, be aware of what you are sending out and make conscious decisions accordingly! It is the same basis either you are a person or a company. Incorporate them in to your own personal life strategy and plan, to get ahead, to create possibilities and get results.
So what can we see in the nearest future?
One word only and it is already here!

But way call social media for social media and for consumer generated media?
Social media for example (Like Twitter, facebook,) is often called “consumer generated media”.
But I think when we call it “consumer generated media” we’re being predatory. Who said this is media? Media is something you can buy and sell.
Media also contains inventory, media contains blank spaces. Consumers weren’t trying to generate media. They were trying to talk to somebody. So it just seems a bit arrogant. We hijack their own conversations, their own thoughts and feelings, and try to monetize it.”
