In todays age there are social media websites such asLinked In, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and this includes personal webblogs such as blogger, Xanga and Myspace. Now that we have the media websites covered you can't forget Instagram and Vine. With all of these options out there it is possible ot reach millions of people daily and if your content is interesting enough it can be sent viral and be surfaced on all of the interfaces listed above.
With all of these options available any entity or person must find it imperative to utilize these tools. But with over 1000 friends or followers on anyone of these websites are they really real or do they care about you? The answer is yes, although these aren't your closest friends or family member they are people who you have chosen to interact with and share your opinions with. Although most of them won't agree with you if %10 of them do then that means you have 100 supporters. To be able to reach certain destinations you will need the guidance or the help of certain individuals. Whether they chose to or not depends on their impression of me, but if they don't even remember me or have no way to contact me the opportunity will never cross.
Now that the use of social media has been necessary. With all the options out there why can't there be a single cloud interface that posts to everything. With Facebook there is now an option to link Instagram, Twitter, and other feeds so that people can see what your doing on each website. I preferably use Facebook and Instagram and Youtube separately. I find it weird when people get too personal on certain news feed. Which arises a huge topic of privacy which we'll talk about later. People think LinkedIn is more professional, but it really comes down too the audience you are targeting and what you post. Each website can be used for personal reasons or professional reasons. How I portray myself and the text, video and audio that I allow on my newsfeed.
But it is true that LinkedIn provides a direct access to job openings and companies.
Hi Patrick! I read this blog and I agree with what you have stated. You have made some really good point with this blog. However, I think you should have done little more research on LinkedIn and Branding. This blog is very general and little vague. You should have focused more LinkedIn and branding, which I find missing in your blog. For example, you could talk the importance of LinkedIn profile in today’s world. I also find some grammatical errors in this blog. These small errors can be avoided using excellent tools like criterion (https://criterion.ets.org). Lastly, I find no image in your blog. I think you need at least one image with this blog to have visual picture in people’s mind. Good luck.
