Thinks I find along the way
Opinions and labels from others are just that, THEIR opinion and labels. We have been taught that to be happy we must be independent of the other opinion of others. It’s SO liberating to know that our reality and how we see ourselves doesn’t have to be defined by others, but we get to define ourselves. We can re-label ourselves to match who we see ourselves to be, not how others see us. And within that is great freedom! It’s awesome! It’s exciting and it’s LIBERATING!

“There are three main areas of practice for social media that your company (or you) should be thinking about: listening, connecting, publishing. From these three areas, you can build out your usage of the tools, thread your information networks to feed and be fed, and align your resources for execution. There are many varied strategies you can execute using these toolsets. There are many different tools you can consider employing for your efforts. But that’s the basic structure: listening, connecting, publishing.” Source: Framing Your Social Media Efforts
Why? I think publishing goes BEFORE connecting — your online brand is a big part of what people want to connect to, so I think you have to publish first [after listening of course!]. What say you?
