The value of social media lies in the connections, in the diversity and randomness of those connections and in the deep relationships that can result from those connections.Over the past 5 years, I have used social media to build important relationships with people around the world who share my passions for social media and learning. Some of them I have met, but most of them I will never see face-to-face. But that doesn’t mean that our connection is weak. When I call, they answer.
Here is my Twitter stream. I have asked my Twitter followers, my Tweeps, to share one piece of social media advice with you or just say hi. We are bringing all those messages together by each of us using the hashtag #ndgga.The reason my Tweeps answer when I call is that they find value in their connection with me.
