Social media evolution
I came across this nice blog post via @Minervity on Twitter about how to build real relationships in social media.
The steps are:
- Make a connection
- Reciprocation
- Engagement
- Have patience
- Private communication
- Start communicating like real friends
- Meed in person
This certainly mirrors my own experience of using social media. It is great when you finally meet someone that you have been connected with on Twitter!
