Social Media Week in Review

Erika Kirkland our social media follower gives her .02 regarding Social Media for this week's Week in Review:

I frequently find myself falling into the void that is social media, in particular Twitter. I think it’s because it’s short, sweet and to the point, very much like myself. Even after not being a part of it for a day, I find myself floating around looking for articles I might have missed, but I also notice a day away makes me more susceptible to random tweets. I usually try to balance between RT’ing articles, but I also tend to ramble on about nothing in particular. The latter I’m sure is a Twitter “don’t.” Anyway, I found this post to be particularly interesting, as I’ve been trying to cope with climbing out of the vortex, and it provides some insight on how to do just that:

This post I found interesting as it seems to state the obvious, but it’s a topic I feel most people taking on the social media endeavor forget about at times, you need to like who you are:

It applies to the same scenario while looking for a job; you need to be confident in yourself, which goes hand-in-hand with liking who you are. Otherwise, you’re screwed. People are a lot more transparent than you’d think, a lesson I’m still learning.

With social media raging forward at a pace that is almost overwhelming to keep up with, I think this article is quite pertinent to building your online presence:

Just one more post about personal branding, will it survive into Web3.0?:
