Social Media – Pro and Con – A Brief Note

The social media is literally exploding. It is a new found way to find long lost friends and family. People are finding each other and are now staying connected and communicating with each other. Others have found it a great way to build business. However, be aware of the match and the trade-off.

In the personal realm I’m sure telling each other about your kids and your activities is great. However, are you sure that posting your score on the multitude of virtual reality games is best for your business? Many prospective customers and clients may not care “what animal represents your spirit” or “what character from ‘The Godfather’ are you.” So, it is best to separate your personal information and postings from your business postings.

I have read that prospective employers, law enforcement personnel, and even college officials are regularly checking the Web to find out more about you. You have to wonder what they are finding about you from your “postings?” What impression are you giving? Be sure to send the message about yourself that you want to send if you are using the web to communicate your business.
