Recently a Twitter friend of mine was murdered. There may have been signs. Would you recognized them from your online friends? Would you be able to tell if they seemed happy most of the time and excited about a blogger contest they were in? The post was written to help her two children left behind from the brutual murder of their mom. Locals have collected clothing for them and there is a new fundraising event coming up in March to collect money too. Whenever a friend on sical media goes missing for more than 24 hours I know send a text message if I know them well enough.

Are social on the social networks or are you just an island? Ever notice how some users only product their own content and never respond to you or anyone else on the social network? Especially on twitter, they just tweet their own products or services and never engage with you. I believe we are at our best when we socialize. That's why the social networks are called social. To be social online. Why would some people join and never socialize? It is like going to a party and then staying in a room all by yourself. It's time to get social.
