Economy, Holidays and Twitter

So, today officially we are in a recession. Wow, that's incredible news (sarcasm). Feel like I've just witnessed the "Emperor has no clothes." Everyone look surprised. And then there's the holidays...yep, no money, no credit.

Unemployment rising, banks closing, dow down....and then, there's social media. Let me tell you. It is marketing, news of the future.

Followed Mumbai attacks via twitter. Have found that traditional news sites like http://www.cnn.com/ are too slow for me. Yikes, I've become addicted to quick news. And how you build relationships quite quickly. So, if you haven't checked out twitter. I suggest you do so.

Begin by following interesting people in your industry...or even outside. If you have a blog, post a link to a posting...but also, promote others. Remember, it is just like networking in the non-virtual world. People get tired if all you do is say...how about me.
