Comments on: It’s Not About Going to a Movie http://www.asmp.org/strictlybusiness/2009/06/its-not-about-going-to-a-movie/ It's Your Business Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:42:11 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Thomas Werner http://www.asmp.org/strictlybusiness/2009/06/its-not-about-going-to-a-movie/comment-page-1/#comment-533 Thomas Werner Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:01:19 +0000 http://www.asmp.org/strictlybusiness/?p=772#comment-533 Twitter is a media stream, streaming information on current and cultural events, your clients and industry, on trends, and on yourself in a multitude ways. Your tweets go out to a group of select people they can get a sense of where you are and what you are doing in brief and immediate manner. You can do the same if you follow them. I will not go to your facebook page, I don't have the time, but I will read your tweets. Facebook is more static, and it is only about you, and the people who go there have to want to take the time to read about you. When I visit twitter I can get a sense of who you are and what you are doing and can also check in on others and current events. I also view Facebook as a more social site than say LinkedIn, which is purely a business site and a place to network for business. People from all parts of your life are there, it serves a different purpose, and doesn't reach outside that group very well. I don't think that you should be on every social networking site, that is a waste of time, but you should understand what the three above offer and how each of their particular strengths can work for you and your clients.

Facebook is a walled off community. Twitter is the world. Facebook updates more or less stay in your yard. Tweets can travel the world in minutes. Think of Twitter as the people AP wire. You offer quality information and people will follow. You are the editor of your personal incoming media stream. You follow content and people that are of interest to you.

Your status is your status....so why post it to 6 different locations. I see the value, but where does it end? So twitter is important, but what is the difference between twitter and facebook?

It is so easy to get caught up in your own world of doing what ever you do - Whatever other people are doing is really in your back seat. Twitter brings it up front, all of a sudden someone else is doing something - maybe the same thing you are, or what you did yesterday or plan to do tomorrow. "Hey, that guy is running around as much as I am, He must be good". Twittering brings out character. The job is to develop that character to a persona of being an "alive and vital" professional Photographer, with lots of emphasis on professional. I think Twitter is the Great Reminder.
