What Is It Called?
posted by Larry Weintraub | 6:49 PM |
In the last 48 hours I've posed this question to those who will listen...
Is there a name or term for a person like me who has the following:
1. Email
2. A MySpace Page
3. A Facebook Page
4. A Blog
5. A Personal Website
6. A Flickr Page
7. A YouTube Channel
8. A Detailed LinkedIn Page
9. A Business Website
10. Other things that I can't remember right now
All of these feed into each other in some way. Meaning, I don't update all of these every day and some or many of them are updated automatically when another is updated.
For example, I built a website for my family and photos get uploaded directly from Flickr. I upload videos as well and sometimes those photos get to my Facebook page and my YouTube Channel. When I blog, through RSS and Widgets, my blogs are syndicated to my Facebook and MySpace pages, and soon to my business website. My LinkedIn page feeds people into my blog and company site. My blog links people to my LinkedIn page and my business website.
You get the picture.
I know I'm not alone. I think a lot of people have similar scenarios and I am sure the generation after me (Millennials???) do this without even thinking about it.
Natalie here at the office thought that several agencies had already coined a clever term for this, but she can't find one.
So, at least for the sake of trying to be like Stephen Colbert (who added "Truthiness" to the modern dictionary), I'd like to figure out the term. Hek, if someone else has it, great. Then please tell me what it is so I can sound smart when I describe this connected via social media scenario.
Socially Connected?
Nah, sounds too non-profit
But if I call it SoCon, that sounds cool, right?
Nah, sounds like an electricity company
SoMeCon? (Pronounced: So - Me - Con, not Some Con which sounds really bad)
ConSoMe?
Nah, sounds like soup

I see much in life as a possible business. It is exciting, but also torturous. I just don’t have enough time. A new idea often sends me into hours of thought, research, and ultimately deviation from what I really need to do in a day. I believe that the Internet has made it easy for anyone to create a business. I believe that the Internet has made nearly everything in life easier. I believe that trying to impact the masses is a tough notion, but finding a group of people similar to you, is at your fingertips. I believe that music is free, and that is not a good thing. I believe that life is a collection of experiences and that every day I learn something new and forget something slightly new.
