It is a new day in age we live in and everything we know and have come to learn is changing in some fashion. Technology has become a prime source of change and in so many careers and jobs over the past few years especially. With the introduction of products like ipad, iphone, blackberry and skype we have seen how technology has literally revolutionized the workplace.
The time of face to face social networking is passé and almost dead. Remember the days of early morning breakfast networking groups? They still do exist but, a whole new generation coming into the work force all but ignore them. For a new generation social networking means one medium—the internet.
Right now the hottest entity for the working world is the use of social networking programs on the web. From linkedin to twitter to facebook to even blogging, business types (especially real estate agents) are logging on to this trend in droves. What is nice about these programs are the options they give. Blogging as I am doing right now makes it possible to let your clientele know about article style issues. Twitter is great for linking articles and sending links as well as letting people know what you are up to. Facebook is adept at fusing pictures, articles and notifications to a younger echelon. For business though the “BIG” name in social networking is linkedin. Linkedin is a program that connects you to different people you know or have worked with. It is a much more professional network and a favorite among agents.
Social networking is the way of tomorrow, today! It lets professionals link their respective careers and job together and helps create a flow of information. It is quite different than the networking of past decades and a little daunting when starting, but you will see how beneficial it can be.
