The Disadvantage of Twitter and Facebook - The Conversation - Ha. By Michael Schrage | 5:15 PM September 8, 2009 A single question haunts me as I write this: Will you forward this post to someone you respect?
Every day, people I like and respect — and quite a few I don’t — take a quick moment of their digital time to forward me an article, a blog post, a link, a chart, a URL, a review, a YouTube Q&A that they think I will find of interest. Forwarding Is the New Networking - Tom Davenport - Harvard Busin. By Tom Davenport | 10:57 AM September 30, 2009 Michael Schrage recently wrote a post on this site about the importance of forwarding information as a way to enhance network relationships.
He’s right about this, although the title — “The Disadvantage of Twitter and Facebook” — is misleading (and inaccurate, since people retweet things all the time — but sadly, editors know that anything with Facebook and Twitter in the title gets a lot of page views and retweets). Forwarding is the new networking. The fact that you can’t do it easily on Facebook is about as relevant as the inability to do it over the telephone or the Dictaphone.
