You can't communicate without conversing ;-) To me, it depends on the person, not the platform(s). Most folks I know bring their offline personas online, warts and all. And for me, that's how I prefer it to be – otherwise where's the transparency that social media is meant to encourage?

By all means, tailor the message to the medium – but don't stop conversing. You can't communicate without conversing ;-)

Its changing in some ways, but there's still a lot of value in it. I think when following-up doesn't occur, it's important to figure out why, and imo, a lot of that comes down to people not recognizing the skill of following-up, the skill of networking.

Thought provoking. To me social media is a new platform for people to initiate a conversation. Pre-social media we utilized conferences, workshops, etc. to engage. Our reach was more limited, but personally the one common link was for people to connect. In regards to connecting, a true networker understands the value of follow-up, which appears to be losing ground with the advent of social media. Interesting post. Thought provoking.
