May 15 #followfriday
May 15, 2009 by Heather
Luckily, Twitter did not kill #followfriday with their @ reply adjustment. (Not sure what I’m referring to? Check out this post.) And, that means we can continue the Costa DeVault #followfriday experiment. (Last week, we started asking a question of the week and highlighting the best answers on our blog.)
This week’s question: If you could change one thing about social media, what would it be? We got lots of feedback throughout the week. Here are the best answers — and our #followfriday recommendations:
- Chuck Hemann (@chuckhemann): to me, it’s the total lack of original thought sometimes. So much good thinking we often become reliant and don’t challenge
- Josh Sternberg (@josh_sternberg): we need stronger filters. too much crap out there to sift through. it will happen, but needs to be sooner.
- JC Maldonado (@Jmal18): socmedia would b 4 ppl who want 2 share ideas, participate in conv n exp. interests n not celebs sellin KFC,or want 1 mil followers
- Matt Batt (@storyassistant): The one thing I’d change about SM would be to have EVERYONE complete a Social Media Boot Camp or 101 course before participating:) (From Heather: Matt sent a second tweet that I thought was also worth including.) If people realized some of the basic strategies around “participation”, “conversations” & “helping” the whole SM world would benefit
What do you think? What would you change about social media? And, what do you think we should ask next week? We want to ask questions that spark your interest.
