Socially Retarded – I Know How We Feel About Social Networking!

by Ed. on Aug.06, 2009, under online store shopping cart

It’s easy to feel confused over Social Networking and all the options available. If we were to try to pay strict attention just to twitter and Facebook and a couple of others, then we would have time for little else.

It’s tempting to regard ourselves (and the seemingly wasted activity) like the Wee Guy does as (via) Socially retarded in the UK.   So it’s tempting to accept his sweet thoughts of limiting the social networking stuff to golf with the lads.

It turns out though, that merely being present in social networking can help your business. A lot.

But it doesn’t mean you have to waste time with it. Appearing everywhere are little tools and Widgets that allow you to interconnect all these resources so when you peep up on one, it automatically appears everywhere. I haven’t been to a twitter page in a month. But every day, I get several emails that more people are following me on Twitter because other resources are twittering for me automatically. And this is true for many other resources other than Twitter.   And some of this folks are going to click and come visit our humble abode here at 800Lab/800Cart.

It’s activity in the right general directions that nets you followers in all these places – but don’t make an effort about it – be smart about it and let the gadgets do the work for you.

    Hey there Ed, thanks for referencing me in your post. I do generate traffic and enquiries as a result of social networking. But it's not the be all and end all - the offline world is still huge.
