Brief pause if you will allow me… from the past few posts, I’ll catch up on those later.

But - I was wondering how you fee about social networking? I mean… Twitter… Facebook… Flickr… Myspace… blogging… YouTube…. Vimeo… etc.

When I was spending some time with my family last weekend, we got into a conversation about how social media is changing the ways we interact with other people. Some members in my family thought that it was all becoming an invasion of privacy, others didnt know how they could gain benefit from it… and still most of them were just confused by it.

Well I think this video was pretty powerful: Take a look.

pretty amazing huh?

Are you a social networker? if not you may want to reconsider, take a look at a few of these stories:

Getting a Job In 140 Characters or less

You Give, and We’ll give back. - the story of how two guys raised funding for a mission trip via their blog.

Visual Worship Roundtable - Two guys create a visual media conference from the community they built on twitter/blogs/facebook!

Finding the person you love on twitter

Twitter got me a Job.

A Twitter/Blog Party. - this one is a bit of a stretch, but something I was in on.. it was a gathering of people by whom only knew about this event via twitter, blogs and face book posts… ALL SOCIAL MEDIA.

What I’m getting at here is huge, and that thing is that the core reason that social marketing has soared like it has it because of it’s relational impact on society. We as humans want to be heard… and we want to be loved. When we have 100 twitter followers, its like our friends are saying to us that we want to hear what you have to say.

What is it that you want to say?
