The Importance of Social Media

Much has been said about social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. The biggest promoters have been celebrities, who tend to go onto talk shows and demonstrate their fascination with being "seen", and how their followers can see instantly everything they do, such as cooking their meals, or going to lunch.

Here's a good example of that sort of thing: Kevin Spacey, trying to demonstrate to David Letterman why Twitter is a good thing.



Of course, the intention was humor above all, but it also demonstrates one of the image problems Twitter has. Its biggest promoters, celebrities, promote it as not much more than a useless toy. Average users look at it and either embrace it, posting their useless stuff to Facebook and Twitter, while other people see it and call it useless.

I submit to you an alternative: social interaction with others on Twitter and Facebook. WHAT, you ask?!?! How can this be? You mean that when I go to Twitter or Facebook, I can actually read what OTHER people are saying, respond to it, and have them respond back? No way!

My best example is the marathon I ran on December 6. I wasn't interactive, there really was no way to be. I had a bluetooth headset that I was sending Twitter messages to my followers with, most of whom were fellow runners.

These fellow runners not only were following what I was doing, but they actually cared what I was doing, and were sending well wishes to me as I ran! It didn't help me at the time, but boy did it make a difference once I got home and read them.

Here are the comments they posted, as they posted them. In the archive I downloaded, the date/time stamps have been lost, but the comments are intact.
