I have a blog, Linked In, Facebook, multiple internal IBM tools, Twitter, Friendfeed, Plaxo, and on, and on, and on.
Most of these have gained steadily in numbers of friends, contacts or whatever you call them, it’s just semantics for numbers. Sure at first there was a bit of a spke, then the growth either leveled off or grew slightly.
Until this week….
One post about a group that was started by Carter Lusher at SageCircle changed all that. The A/R Twitter Contact directory. It seemed innocuous and logical to join the group. I’m in that proffesion, and there are a number of folks that tweet about it or converse with others.
My inbox has been full of folks wanting to follow me. Now that is relative in terms of numbers as I don’t draw WSJ type number, nor do I drone on like many on the tool, but the spike is what was amazing.
Credit to Carter for thinking of this as well as the power of community to get together that quickly
