Healthy Debates | Choose Your Words Carefully!

Last night I had a very healthy debate on Facebook.  While my comment was meant to make the point that usually the bad guys gain more notoriety...more recognition than those that really deserve the true recognition it seems the news gravitates to those who do not deserve the notoriety.  That's right I was talking about Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

 

And the great debater...Kevin Tomlinson...taught me

Healthy Debates | Choose Your Words Carefully!

I am a very big fan of Kevin I watched him grow as blogger in the great competition...Project Blogger right here on ActiveRain! 

One thing I learned from last night's debate...is one simple thing..choose your words carefully because they may come across very different than what the intent was...meaning...perception...and maybe my message wasn't clear. 

The interesting thing a local Daytona Beach REALTOR seemed to insult us both stating his IQ diminished 10 points reading our thread!  I admit...it made me realize many may not understand the beauty of social media. 

It isn't just marketing...it isn't just to connect with your customers or your peers or to say good comment or thanks for writing.......social media is social and sometimes socially we do not agree...or our thoughts and ideas do not come across the way we intend.  

It seemed to me...I was looking at it the same way Kevin did but the problem was my choice words!  As I reread my words I could clearly see where he was coming from.

So the next time there is a great debate on a blog or comment that you post....don't take it too personally...just reread what you wrote there might be a chance your choice of words might be the cause of a healthy debate!

Thanks you handsome devil!

Consumer Recommendation on Twitter-Good Enough For Me!

Last night I posted a referral on Activerain, Facebook and Twitter...a potential short sale..in a small town in Florida.  This morning I followed up on any responses and found one...a darn good one...

A recommendation from a consumer on twitter no less!  The way that I looked at it...if its a consumer recommendation on twitter...good enough for me! 

 

The gentleman who recommended the agent didn't stop there but picked up the phone and personally called me.

He's a better twit than myself..but not for long..he taught me a valuable lesson today....

Interested in following him...its @amishsteve, he provides consignment services on Ebay and Craigslist.

Thanks Steve Spinks!

Now that's social media at its finest!

So for all of you almost twits it might be a good idea to get on the bandwagon...myself included!

Word of mouth marketing..what a compliment!
