Thought-Based Social Media Dialogue
I was recently reading an article that I found online that contained a paragraph from Marie Domingo (@MarieDomingo) with regard to Twitter. She wrote:
"The best Tweets have a call to action or a link that includes an interesting photo or website. Followers following interesting dialogues."
This got me to thinking about the dialogues that are used to market a product, store or service. I find very few businesses follow this social media model.
My current favorite is Chef's Market who almost always uses a photo with their Facebook updates. The scrumptious food photos make my mouth water. The same happens to other Fans as they do post how much they love the food there.

I Love Website Magazine
FREE Website Magazine
I think it was Larry Baltz at Build Team ONE who gave me a copy and said I might like it. An understatement. I love this magazine.
You will like it, too.

Do Fans Really = Fans?
I was watching CBS Evening News last night and saw this story on the Barefoot Bandit. Toward the end of the story, there are a few lines about the bandit's fans on Facebook. The slant made it feel as if all of the fans of this person were supporters.
I am sure that many who are fans are curious bystanders who want to keep abreast of the story. Think about it. You have an interest in a particular story and instead of performing a Google search, you simply become a fan and links to almost every story on this topic will be in one easy, convenient place.
Have you become a fan of a particular Facebook page/person just because you are curious? I have joined many pages just to see what's up with a particular subject. Every month or so I go through and purge those that are no longer of interest.
I'm still a fan of Betty White to host SNL. I'm hoping she will do it again.
