12 Most Powerful Ways to Connect Via Social Media. When I share how I found one of my favorite clients, mouths drop open like it’s some sort of magic trick.
We found each other through Twitter. This could work for you, whether you’re in professional services like me or a concrete salesman or anything in between. It’s not just Twitter than can lead to new business, however, it’s all the ways we connect via social media. I use specific tactics to ensure I am finding the right people and they are able to find me. Here is my list of the 12 Most Powerful Ways to Connect Via Social Media: 1. LinkedIn, Facebook and your blog all have the potential to be found via social media. 2. Just like regular networking, you need to build trust within your community. 3. I understand why it’s easy to push this priority to the bottom of the list. 4. A tried and true connection tactic is to leave comments on other blogs. 5.

Another Reason Facebook Wants a Web of Real Identities: Commerce. Last week, Facebook’s marketing head, Randi Zuckerberg, caused a stir when she asserted that online anonymity has to go away.
But the reason large, powerful networks are pushing for a world in which our verified and authenticated identities exist online isn’t simply to stop cyber-bullying and to create incentives for users to behave more nicely. This is about money. Part of the company’s drive is also to help users leverage their online identities to transform and accelerate online commerce.
The topic of online identity and anonymity is polarizing. Powerful interests have strong incentives to build a web where real identities rule. Unfortunately, none of these debates address the heart of the matter in this specific context, which is that for networks like Facebook, the game is to encourage its users to leverage their real identities online so that Facebook can accelerate its ability to power online transactions. I don’t mean this in a cynical way.
