Social Media - Karma is a MOFO

Social Media

A couple of months ago, I said to Guy Kawasaki on Twitter that, “Karma is a Mofo”. He tweeted me back and said, “That is a great quote. I am going to steal that”. Yes, I was totally stoked when I read that. It got me thinking. Many social media networking sites have sections for recommendations or referrals. And most people have very few recommendations or referrals from friends, clients or associates posted if not none. I am guilty of this myself. Many of my profiles have zero to a couple at most. And I have given out very few myself. But Rudy, you have so many friends and contacts on these networks. What gives? I don’t know but I want to change that.

As the Social Media Guru of Trulia, I have over 500 “friends” on facebook, 227 on Linkedin, 947 followers on Twitter. If I can just complement one person or or share a positive experience or story about them every now and then, it would be great. I’ll try. But being as busy as I am, I should be finished in a couple of years or so. So please don’t feel slighted if I don’t get to you until next year Acknowledging our friends and business associates that we so dearly cherish can go a long way. It might help them get their next job or impress a potential client. Lot’s of work to do. This will be interesting.

Since Linkedin serves as our virtual resume, I’ll start there.
