Communications is more fragmented. Social media and digital are not a challenge or alternative to the traditional communications model, they supplement – but with added complication.
Look: Take the time to evaluate new technologies – even if they immediately seem easy to disregard.Listen: Watch how the technology is being used – look for the opportunity and evaluate it. Based on observation, it may be appropriate for you to join/speak.Join: If observation and community ettiquette indicate that it is appropriate to do so, you can join the community.Speak: Similar to join, if appropriate, you can contribute to the community. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zizzy/ / CC BY-NC 2.0

With online services like Twitter and Friendfeed continuing to blur the line between casual and business, the ability to use a single site as both a personal and professional networking tool becomes more realistic. But whether the "Poke" will ever make it into a sales strategy is still anyone's guess.Facebook vs. Linkedin - Network, Socialize, Be Professional?
