Actually, what I enjoy doing is actually going to my local coffee shop and having a cappuccino while I catch up with my facebook friends and tweet a little about what’s been going on…. I find it the most relaxing part of my day!

I would rather catch up that way then having to be on the phone while I’m driving home from work….

It works for me anyway…

Tzaddi;

I think that social media needs to be a timed task like oithers in your day. If relationship building is not a core competency of yours then hire a VA – outsource it. I am a huge timed task freak and shared my thoughts that Time Management Is Nonsense on my blog!

Great site!

Success comes to those people who can manage their time according to their priorities. It is due to the fact that they can finish doing important tasks at a certain period of time without rushing things and without becoming reckless.

Referring to Twitter and Facebook to a coffee shop is a great analogy! Does this mean that I can refer to MySpace as a Library??? Pretty quite and less and less people go there on a daily basis???

Tzaddi – what a great way to position social media interaction …like a coffee shop or bar. That puts it into context and takes away a great deal of the confusion and frustration that many people have about it. Social media offers a great opportunity to connect with people that you might not otherwise bump into. And it is worth finding the time, much like you do for a cup of coffee.

Quite often, our clients will tell us that they just don’t have any extra time in the day. They are absolutely jam packed – and then we ask them why they do everything that they do each day…is it habit? because it brings value to their day? Do they think they “should”, so they do? So far, every single person we have asked to review their daily routine has been able to find 15 to 30 minutes that they can shift over to social media. We all do things that are not effective, that are from back in the day …habits die hard with humans. Check your schedule – is there something in there that can be shifted or deleted so that you can take a few moments to connect with friends, colleagues and like-minded people through social media?

Try visiting your social media coffee shop several times a week for three weeks … you will be amazed at what can happen!

@Josiane – now you have me curious about your next ventures. Can’t wait to hear about them!

@Bill – Oh, so glad you posted about that. I can think of some people who should read it because all they do is the sales-pitch tweets. I was chatting with @naominiles about the the other day, and I said it’s like someone walking into a coffee shop, yelling BUY MY COOL THING and then leaving, without another word. Ummm, no thanks!

@Annie – so true. In a real coffee shop I would feel like I am butting in, but in social media often the context has an implied invitation for you to give your two cents.

Thanks all for dropping by and commenting!

I feel far less awkward “eavesdropping” and then jumping into conversations in the “virtual” coffee shops of Twitter, etc. than at the real one, where I tend to keep to myself (while secretly eavesdropping). Though, sometimes, like when I was sitting next to a PhD candidate discussing her thesis on “What Not to Wear” with her adviser, I can’t help but butt in! I admire my friends who know everyone at their local coffee shop… maybe I just need to start going somewhere friendlier.

I started writing a comment but realized it was better as a post. So I posted it here: I wonder what she'll say today?

Hey, what a surprise to find this little tweet of mine here! Sweet!
You’re totally right about how we can strengthen connections on Twitter. I really saw it happening once I got there (thanks to Havi, of course!). And I expect that it will make a difference for me when I’ll finally launch my online business – soon, very soon… I’ll say more on Twitter when the time comes!
