Which Social Media is right for the Details Diva?

I am a member of Ryze and many members have used LinkedIn for awhile. I like the thought of LinkedIn, it can connect those in your community and it is ONLY business oriented.

I swore up and down I’d NEVER have a MySpace or FaceBook blog. Weren’t they mostly for teenagers and young adults?
In my mind, the different Facebook pages I looked at, their owners seemed to indiscriminately add “Friends”.
But now that FaceBook is becoming mainstream, do I have to rethink this?

Now Twitter is all the rage…since I’m NOT and NEVER will be a text-er  I cannot see myself using this.  Unless it is to update others in my community of goings-on. But I would rather do that through email.

Back in 1998 or so,my mother would send me letters from Florida about protecting myself on the ‘Net.  Being tech-savvy I already knew this but “Hey….who was I to rain on her parade?”

On March 20, she called up and said she saw on the Today show that I should put my resume on FaceBook.   I was horrified, I certainly couldn’t put one out there with my personal information.  I’m still leery about doing it, but maybe, just maybe.

We brainstormed about ways that some of the concepts in The Virtual Handshake could be used to help in his situation.

One of his challenges is that donors need a trigger event to give money. Historically, a trigger event might be an entrepreneur who sold his company and received a large payout, or a Wall Street executive who received a large annual bonus. However, in this economic environment, what are trigger events?
