The social media phenomenon continues to grow at unheralded rates, through popular engaging networks like Facebook, My Space and Twitter.
There are even sites targeted for singles, match making and baby boomers i.e. Eons, offering their followers free platforms to maintain open and closed associations with friends, families, peers and clients. Basically, if you have something to say, share or solicit, it can be done right from the palms of hands via your connection to the internet.
Like all things, technological advances created for good intentions, will always be subjected to the negative whims of a few – whose goal is to undermine and sometimes slander another.
Therefore, we must not treat social networking too casually or with indifference, but rather as a viable personal asset, for maintaining genuine relationships with peers, prospects and friends.
The bottom line – genuinely control your message and manage your story – fostering relationships built on integrity and sincerity.
As an example, if you are applying for a new position or completing and application for entry into a college or university, or if you find yourself up for some type of nomination, endorsement or promotion – slander can hurt you and lessen your chances for success. Knowing that those engaged in the selection process, (will practice due diligence) researching in traditional manners as well as over the internet, available information about your perceived character and self worth – it is imperative that you convey the proper message about – “just who you are”.
Today, it’s not uncommon for an individual to belong to several social media networks simultaneously – exposing to the online network slices of information about themselves, regarding their social, economic and political positions. And although users are encouraged not to share critical information that could be detrimentally harmful, if landed in the hands of vultures – anyone and everyone that participates in the online social media community is potentially vulnerable to some type and some degree of mis-information.
Although there are fruits to be claimed through engagement in the online community – everyone that participates should continually work to ensure the integrity of their message and their Brand.
To protect your Brand an elevated strategy must be deployed to ensure that your true story and message remains unblemished - thereby securing your credibility, find-ability, and refer-ability within and outside of the ever expanding social media network.
