I follow Mentioum (https://twitter.com/Mentioum) because he's a YouTuber and a great video game player.
I've been friends with Lauren (https://twitter.com/lstigerts) for years. She's a marketing consultant, very social media savvy, and a great video game player.
Mentioum saw Lauren and I tweeting often, so he checked out her blog. While reviewing the blog, he noted a problem that the blog is loading the Google analytics js file twice. Lauren appreciated the catch, and will modify the page, but note what happened here: Two people who didn't know each other just collaborated to fix a problem because they were members of my extended social network.
This...This is the power of social media that fires up evangelists like me.
We all have interests, but by connecting through social media, we weave a digital tapestry and allow for the synergy that open collaboration can empower.
My creed is to Engage:Empower:Support. In this story, I Engaged with the players, but they Empowered and Supported each other on their own...that is the power of connected social media!
