Well, here it is a week later already and I haven’t posted. Is this the risk we face in our use of Web 2.0 . . .
THAT WE WILL FAIL TO USE IT?
Or . . . that we will look bad in at least trying to use it? Take that reputational hit?
Okay, my spell checker-thing is telling me that “reputational” isn’t a word.
In the nineties, we began wrestling with the e-mail inbox. In the early 2000’s, we started pulling off the road to initiate a cell call (well, we should have). In the mid-2000’s we began the battle to keep up with the onslaught of incoming text messages.
Now . . . we feed the social media machine!
So here I am, needing to post something that is not a typical article, and that does not expose infotex to a whole bunch of risk because it has misspelled words in it. Ahhhhh!!!!
I tried to do my dutiful Vigilize thing on Twitter, and right when I went to tweet, Twitter once again overloaded. How can you feed the machine if it is eating too much?
If I wasn’t so impatient, I would have waited to do a Twitter search on the words “Twitter Crash”. But I didn’t.
Does this make generation Y more patient than Generation X or, in my case – the Baby Boomer Generation? Does Generation Y wait to tweet?
. . . or do they?
Hey Twitter, better wake up!!!
Web 2.0 turns us ISO’s into nay-sayers. We tip-toe through the tulips of potential reputational ruin.
Who says reputational isn’t a word?
The Internet (and especially Web 2.0) made reputational a word!!!
Oh, did I say you’d get some value by reading this diatribe? Well here is a history of my vigilize posts! You can bookmark it, or you can just pull down to it in the “jump to category” feature on the left side navigation.
