The Social Media Tsunami
My friend Mike Singleton just coined a new phrase which I like which happens after you meet someone for the first time, or correspond with them online. It represents the full monty of online connections that can occur. These usually happen in fast succession resulting in an avalanche of connection options coming from one person in your inbox.
This includes a wave of invites from the following services;
- The twitter follow
- The tweet with a mention
- The LinkedIn connection
- The Facebook friend request
- The Foursquare friend request
- The Plaxo friend request
The funny part about this is that it can happen after an email exchange, a tweet, or just an exchange of a business card. I think its socially interesting to say the least and this is of course half in jest, but I thought I would post the term here because it happens so often.
Did I leave something out?
