Hello everyone! I am glad to finally have the time to write a new blog.
Today's topic is Twitter, all social media really, and music. It never ceases to amaze and surprise me how we label these sites as "social networking" tools but rarely do we network. We are constantly fed streams of peoples personal lives or bragging rights.
I feel one of the reasons a lot of people are not able to take advantage of the networking aspect is because, those whom we wish to connect with have formed their own cliques. I use this only as an example but wouldn't it be nice if Timbaland had only aspiring singers with NO finanacial backing in his timeline? Or say Ne-Yo had unknown producers in his timeline? Now if I would like to contact say, Russell Simmons, my chances are even slimmer on Twitter, than if I stood outside Rush Communications and just started yelling his name at the windows. Sad but true. My point being, is that in order to take networking to a new level we should be mining for new talent among the unknowns instead of those in our immediate circles, for those who are still eating ramen noodles and sleeping on their friends futons. The reality of the matter is my blog may never change the current state of social networking but hopefully it will cause some people on my friends list or timeline to consider using it to connect each other with people that can actually help a gifted, talented person reach their full potential in whatever career it may be.
Here's a shout out to all the people who RT, comment, call or email the little people!! LOL
Have the most beautiful day ever and remember Who blessed you with that talent.
