Twitter and Linkedin Unite in Social Matrimony

Social Networking & Social Media No Comments

This week Twitter and Linkedin united to share status updates across their mass social media networks.  I was thrilled, as I love both communities.   As soon as the functionality was released, I was on my Linkedin profile attempting to unite the two applications.  And for a moment, I quickly fell out of love with them and all the social ramblings they represent.

At first, the process was bug ridden and would not connect my profiles.  I am fairly savvy on the computer, so I knew this was not user error.  It was just a few bumps in a pretty elaborate launch.  I waited a day and returned with hopes of more status updates, tweets, and social musings than I could stand.  I was elated to find the bugs of launch resolved and my Linkedin and Twitter accounts are now tied together in one big social media love-fest.

My only problem is, well, me.  I start chatting on Twitter and sending my comments back and forth with other Twitter peeps, only to realize this is all hitting my Linkedin profile.  I received a Linkedin email from my buddy Norm that was commenting on one of my Twitter tweets.  Okay, maybe I need to tone down my tweets little, but the ability to share this content is fabulous.  I’m in social media heaven and the feature was just launched.

So take my warning fellow social media junkies, you need to think twice before you connect Twitter and Linkedin.  If you are job searching on Linkedin, but socializing on Twitter, think twice before you connect your virtual lives.

Now that this marriage has occurred, what could be next?  That would be Linkedin for your mobile device.  Ah, the world of social media just continues to get better all the time.

Social Media Marriages Continue as MySpace Proposes to iLike

Social Networking & Social Media No Comments

Prior to launching my own Internet marketing company, I worked for an ERP software developer for almost a decade. I loved the company and the people, but was amazed at the industry. I watched in disbelief as Y2K came and went, and countless ERP software vendors evaporated through my ten year stint. As I transferred myself fulltime into search engine optimization, social media, and web design, I thought this would change. I thought these acquisition crazy companies were just ERP software companies. Silly girl.

This last week brought yet another acquisition announcement in the land of social media. The MySpace folks announced their intent to couple up with iLike. No one has to wonder about who will be wearing the pants in this relationship. Am I surprised? Not really. MySpace had to do something. Facebook just announced an acquisition and MySpace has to keep up. But can MySpace really keep up with Facebook and Twitter? Or the business-focused social media giant LinkedIn? My personal belief is no. Facebook is light years ahead of MySpace and MySpace’s attempt at cutting edge social networking will still leave them at the back of the pack.

The good news for MySpace and the other social networking websites is that many of us Internet junkies are, in fact, addicted to social networking and everything fun and hooky these social media websites can deliver. While I personally do not play Mafia Wars or send out birthday requests, I start my day with Facebook and Twitter. MySpace – not so much. But others do and there are plenty of us out there to keep the four big boys churning and bringing in revenue. Which does make me happy, because if I didn’t have my morning Facebook, what would I do while I drank my coffee?
