So many have an issue with social media because they look at it as disconnected from the real world. That couldn't be farther from the truth if it's done correctly and honestly. I know this for a fact from trips that I've made. Friends that I have had relationships with through social media and then had the opportunity to meet in real life (IRL) were just as expected. Now the reason is because for myself and these people, we act and are the same in the virtual world as in the real one. The conversations and relationships forged are real.
Now one of things that I would like to work on more in the coming year is showing this to others value. A person that has done a wonderful job of this is a friend both virtual and real world- Veronika Miller of Modenus and she's done a great job with the use of her worldwide Blogtours.
For this summer @AndieDay and I are working on hosting a Tweetup ( A group of friends on Twitter (social network) that are planning to meet up. A request by a user to meet with friends via Twitter.") in Boston this July 15. Here's the post I recently did promoting that #bostonfeelthelovetweetup( Twitter hashtag)
http://www.thebuildingblox.com/2012/06/boston-feel-love-summer-tweetup.html and there's plenty of time and room for more of you to join in. Or if you know someone in the Boston, New England area or someone that may be around during that time, we'd love to connect. Just shoot us a note!
I believe that for many reasons it's important to bridge the worlds of virtual social media with real world meetings and experiences in order to show others the value that is created in developing a far reaching and real network of friends and business associates. So in this coming year I will be working on ways to do just that- bridge and show the virtual and real worlds and the value that is provided to so many on so many levels.
I have some ideas I'm working on so stay tuned!
