Explore the unknown in social media

To begin our week, I am giving you, my dear reader, an assignment.

Your Social Media assignment for today, should you choose to accept it:

Explore a social networking site that you are not currently using.  

Maybe it’s Google+, maybe it’s Twitter, Pinterest, or even Facebook.

Step 1: Type in the address or Google it if you are not sure.

Step 2: Sign up. It’s usually quick, easy and pretty painless. You can always delete your account later.

Step 3: Look around. See what’s going on. Read/listen to the conversations.

Step 4: Take the plunge! Friend or follow someone, write something on someone’s page, type a word into the Search function.

Step 5: Play around and explore for about 15 minutes (more if you have the time). If you like it, bookmark the site and come back to it later to play more.

Step 6: Pat yourself on the back. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

My feeling is that the more often you create and share ideas, the better you get at it. So keep getting better at it.
