Issue 2 - RESPOND, RELATE - AND MAKE THE CONNECTIONS REAL?
Dear bloggers, see Denise below
who wants to share what she has learned.
community's first rule is this:
when contact's made, see it's returned!
Lani Paul in the video- and other speakers featured in this recent forum - reminds us of the key to engagement: when media users respond, keep the community going by translating the art of dialogue to the digital.
It's important to talk to your community
AVRIL JANKS brings you 'Threading the web together': Can social media create community?
I actually think that often social media can exclude people from the so-called 'community' that it's become. I have a facebook account and I often comment on people's pictures or message people for a chat, and when they don't respond, I feel the opposite of a communal vibe. Social media is a community crusher, not a community builder. - Fay,32

ReplyDeleteThis is exaclty the argument that is proposed by Lani Paul in the video here: when people post, they want a response. More education is needed on netiquette, including the basic principles of dialogue espoused by Lani and many others talking or writing about customer service and other forms of human communication: respond! acknowledge!
Hi Avril
ReplyDeleteGreat topic. It is interesting to discuss and have an understanding of Social Media and how it can affect and influence other parts of life.
