A Journey In Social Media: Passion: The Secret Ingredient?

We spend a lot of time as a team debating why certain people are getting proficient at social media (or 2.0 behaviors, or whatever you want to call them), and others -- well -- just aren't.

But maybe, just maybe, we've stumbled on the quintessential ingredient that makes this stuff work.

Passion. Maybe it's that simple -- and that hard.

- But it is more than that. As the report says, you can follow media experts on Twitter, etc., and learn from their links and their conversation. You can converse with people much smarter than you -- well, I can, at least -- and they'll respond, helping me. You don't need to know them, you don't need a fancy title, you don't need an introduction. You simply need to ask a question. How cool is that?
  - I would kill to hear more principals talk like this. - on 2009-06-10

- And, as a result, you establish yourself as a person. A real person. I hope that the people who connect with me on social networks see me as more than a name on a masthead. I engage with them. I show some personality, to the extent that I have one. I listen to what others are saying and let them know that I am learning from THEM.
  - This goes back to the post of transparency as leadership. Willingness to learn in public. - on 2009-06-10

- But it's an easy obstacle to avoid. You don't want to know what someone had for lunch? Cool, don't follow the people who write those types of things. Follow instead the people who tell you what they think about topics you're interested in.

- I meet people on Twitter every day whom I wouldn't get a chance to meet without it. Interesting, entertaining, fascinating people who bring insight to my business and my community. As a journalist, as an engaged citizen, as a business leader, why wouldn't I embrace that?

- Editors are supposed to be thinking strategically. We're supposed to be thinking about the future. We're supposed to experiment and try new things. We're also supposed to talk to our readers and engage with the community. So, this is part of the job, period.

- Any editor who says they don't have time to do these kinds of things is working on the wrong things.
- My day has probably gotten longer, but this is important stuff.
- Find people you know and follow them. Find people you don't know but who live near you or who do what you do and follow them. Jump in. Give it longer than a weekend before you decide if it's good or bad. Be yourself and be engaging.
- Your readers do know more than you; act like it. Respond to others' messages. It's fun. And if you don't find it fun, consider it what an old boss called a "development opportunity." Learning the social networking skills and establishing that online presence is an investment in your future.
