Are You Getting the Most from Your Social Networking? a Post by R. Clint Peters

Recently, I was asked to confirm a request to join my tribe on Triberr.  My first question was “What the heck is Triberr?”

Apparently, I joined Triberr some time ago, back when I still had a Microsoft hotmail address.  (Perhaps two years ago, if you’re counting.)  I proceeded to do a little maintenance on the account, including changing my email address and adding several requests to join other tribes.  (Similar to a like on Facebook and a follow on Twitter.)

When I finished completing my profile, I wondered how many other social networking accounts I was missing out on.  A quick search on my browser brought up Wikipedia’s social network list.

Over the next few days, I plan to present the list to the club.  I suggest anyone who reads the blog take a look at what they have established for their social networking.  At a minimum, all authors should be members of the following:

LinkedIn Twitter Facebook The Author’s Club Any reading networks, such as GoodReads, BookBub, ReadCheaply, and I am sure there are others I’ve missed.  If, after perusing the list, you find networks not listed or ones that have disappeared from the Internet, please send an email to:  theauthorsclub@gmail.com.43 ThingsGoal setting and achievement Academia.eduSocial networking site for academics/researchers About.meSocial networking site AdvogatoFree and open source software developers aNobiiBooks AsianAvenueA social network for the Asian American community aSmallWorldEuropean jet set and social elite world-wide AthlinksRunning, Swimming Audimated.comIndependent music BeboGeneral Biip.noNorwegian community BlackPlanetBlack Americans BlaukAnyone who wants to tell something about a stranger or acquaintance.
