Karen, you are so right about the micro communities! There are the core traits, applying to the community as a whole, and then there are these smaller groups that give it their style and direction.

Friar, welcome! It’s not about how many there are, it’s about the specific traits of each tool or network. You wouldn’t use Twitter for the same reasons you have a blog. They are somewhat similar, as in cars and bikes both have wheels, but each of then needs to be approached individually, analyzed so that one can tell where they are different and how you can take that discovery and put it to good use.

“Recognize the uniqueness of what you’re doing”.

Umm…Last time I checked, there wasn’t exactly a shortage of social media types.

Actually, quite the opposite, I might add.

Alina, these are excellent observations! I just shared it on Facebook too. It really makes you think of how SM truly is a community with its own language, traditions, equipment and experience. It also reinforces that even in a macro community there are micro communities. Some bikers are road bikers, others off road, some are training for events, etc. All Social Media is not the same, each platform/tool is a micro community. Great thinking points Alina!

Hi Alina,

I love your analogy between a biker and social media. What you’ve written is so very true. Joining in is what makes it fun. No time to be shy, hey?

BTW: It was nice meeting your on Twitter. I’m now a follower and a subscriber.
