How About a New Name for Social Networks
Had a long IM chat with a friend who loves Facebook.
I am of the belief that when you sell you do so on merit not on social elements.
When someone I don't know asks me about my personal life, they lose my initial good will.
But many people want to be treated like pals automatically.
Dale Carnegie taught me people want to be called by their name and understood to be more than their job.
I am particularly good with this at restaurants.
But on Social Networks, I am feeling privacy is being lost.
So I want to call the Ning Thing (as seen at www.pulvermediacommunity.net) something other than social
its a business network? A community network? and Industry Gathering (deliberately avoiding the term association)
What is it I want to be social about. I am not looking for the Virtual Water Cooler
What about you?
