Get Your Social Network Act Together - Part 2
This Series Will Now Be Called: Social Network Integration
What are the main reasons for Social Network Integration?
If you are anything like me then you've got to feel a little overwhelmed or frustrated trying to develop and maintain relationships with the existing Social Network sites. I tried to join groups and make contacts and exchange comments etc. etc. I noticed that most people were in the same boat as me. It was hit and miss. Mostly miss. What I needed was more organization, an easier way to stay in touch, automation, consolidation . . . ummm Integration?
Social Network Integration (SNI) is uselessĀ for our purposes unless it saves us time and energy and greatly reduces the frustration and confusion. In order to do this an SNI application would have to allow us the ability to reach our followers / clients / customers with maximum efficiency. This would mean we need the ability post to more than one account with one effort. It's not enough to see a listing of all our friends etc and watch their activity without being able to communicate with them in a quick & easy blanket fashion.
And YES!, being able to group them and communicate with a group all at once. Wow, that would be cool. What about automatic responses to people who befriend or follow us? A pipe dream?
Stay tuned and all this plus much more can and will be yours. Here's 2 more power tools you should investigate and set up: Twirl or Tweetdeck And, most importantly, follow me on twitter and you won't miss a thing. Some of my info only goes out to my twitter followers.
