Are Social Networks Competitive Enough To Join In Linking Eyes To Find
Thu 28 Aug 2008 14:38:07 | 0 comments
Let's start with a couple of fundamental things:
1. Social networks are all the rage, right now. That's obvious. And that's good. The easiest thing to find on the Internet is a social network which matches your most cherished interests.
2. Of necessity, social networking companies such as Linkedin, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, FriendFeed, Plaxo, (+ Yahoo, Google, & Microsoft), etc., MUST be competitive - else they wither and die.
If there is an abundance of social networks and if social networks are of necessity competitive, is it possible to borrow some of that competitiveness, the weight they carrry, their power, the force they wield on and off the Web to do something good - even as we're conducting our primary focus? Even as we're trying to earn a living?
For example, though I'm primarily a Recruiter & Social Media Coach, one of my most important social networking interests is this: "Linking Eyes To Find Missing Children"
So, I wonder and I wonder and I wonder: Is it possible to use a ring of social networks to help find missing children?
Think about it: Even if all the largest, smallest, and in-between social networks on the web found only 1 child in the next year, it would be far better than all these super-large social networks finding not a single child.
Imagine that with 365 days a year and millions upon millions of searching eyeballs, what it could mean to the possibilities of finding a child or two or three or four or more?
I don't know about you but, I'd feel awfully good if social media could lend its vast power to doing a little bit of good - even in the midst of our socializing.
Television has done it.
Radio has done it.
Newspapers have done it.
Billboards have done it.
Even milk cartons have done it.
Why not social media networks?
Because I believe you can learn a lot about social media by linking eyes to find missing children it could also be educational for YOU.
With the above in mind, to give a bit of an idea of the Linking Eyes To Find Missing Children ring of social media sites, I've set up sites at the following 17 places:
