Friend Me, Tweet
Me, Link Me, Meet Me
Are you growing
weary of the incessant buzz about social media such as
Twitter,
Facebook,
LinkedIn and the like?
I'm an accomplished
user of these tools, but I'll be the first to tell you that there is nothing
magic about them. So-called "social media" or "web 2.0" applications are just
one more way to stay in touch. Just like this website, or the printed pieces
that you turn to Copresco for, these social networks help us to get the very
latest news. They also keep us from getting too far out of touch with each
other.
I typically post several items each day, just enough to keep
things fresh without overwhelming my connections.
You may be surprised
to find that many of my posts go far beyond the topic of ink on paper. You will
find links and information concerning literacy, publishing, ebooks, arts and
literature, design, advertising, branding, and (every now and then) the
accomplishments of my kids and grandkids. I'll even confess to throwing in some
of my trademark humor on occasion.
Hungry for Johnson's World with a
side of Copresco? How do you like your internet served up? Here's today's menu.
Most business people gravitate toward
LinkedIn
and Plaxo, and everyone seems to have a
Facebook
account. Young and old alike are perplexed by
Twitter, but
microblogging fans swear by it. The artsy among you still use
MySpace and the
visually oriented opt for
YouTube.
American
Printer is for you who prefer your editorials in print.
The head
of national printing association (who is famous for being out of touch)
recently publicly declared to his members that his personal Facebook account
was "off limits, that's my personal site and none of your business." I don't
think he gets the concept.
If you friend, link, tweet or space me,
what you see is what you will get. Here at Copresco we have nothing to hide and
much to offer. I invite you to take advantage of our knowledge today. We're
happy to share.
Steve
Johnson, President
Copresco
