See me, hear me … Social Media Blitz
Gantthead.com is focused this month on social media and how this can help/hinder the project manager’s job of managing projects.
So, I joined the crowd and set up a twitter account of my own. We will see how it goes. The twitter account is the latest in a list of attempts by me to communicate and connect via the world wide web. I am connecting with old friends, family, and professional associates.
Let’s see, I have:
- LinkedIn Profile
- Google Groups – PMI® related groups: EdSIG and Proposed SW MO Chapter
- Two or three WordPress blogs, including this one.
- Facebook – reserved for family and friend connections … nothing professional here!
- MySpace – I only added this one at the urging of a cousin and the reality TV show, “Farmer Wants a Wife.”
I also believe I have set up accounts in various other places, but don’t keep track. There is good and bad in having such easy access to others. On the one hand, it can be overwhelming trying to keep up with all the communication points that are possible. On the other hand, I can send a receive information that is relevant to me and my project management career.
Information overload can lead to less productivity, increased stress, and poor performance. So, I am going to mitigate those risks, and limit my social media blitz to the really important topics and sites!
It’s a great day for chocolate!
