Building Online Friendships The Right Way
This post was written with the help of my Plurk friends, and contains some insights from them that may just help you to build strong online friendships.
I began by asking a series of questions over the past day or so about their relationships on Plurk, and other sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Contrary to the opinion of a lot of self styled marketing experts, social media users are not some group of avid consumers waiting to run and check the latest offering on their website.
These are normal everyday people from a range of backgrounds and interests that meet together on this, and other social platforms.
What Bugs These Folks?
People who Plurk or Twitter 50 times a day, yet never respond on to others.
People who spam with links and or products.
Other things that upset them is plain rudeness, and sharing too much “intimate” information.
The message is plain! Be friendly, reply to others and be respectful.
Sharing the occasional link is all right, but do it too much, and you begin to lose friends.
Once that happens, it really doesn’t make that much sense, does it?
