People have been networking online long before it was tagged as “social media.” Meeting online through chat rooms, messages boards and the like, experimenting with reaching out beyond their immediate community. Now social media is a buzz word and many if not most people participate in one way or the other. There are many benefits to building a solid network online.
I agree, but the most populair social media website are the one where people talk to each other. Youtube, last.fm are the one where they talk about content. I think the content related social media w'll become leading networks. Don't you think so?
Zack I remember my first chat room talk in - 1992. Am I dating myself? I didn't know what it was about and soon (like less than 6 months) grew bored.
Riv, the whole point in my opinion of networking online IS to take it to a deeper conversation with selected individuals - that means going beyond 140 characters in text, picking up the phone or Skyping, or where appropriate, meeting in person.
