I am following a really resourceful guy on twitter and facebook. His name is Jacob Morgan › a social media consulting and strategist who advises businesses on how to use social media to build relationships with their users and customers. He was one of the first people i followed and he is truly a thought leader within social media and SEO. I was browsing his blog and came over one post that interested me – and in a way visualized the concept of Social Network and what Social Media is – in a simple way.
Have you ever wondered or thought about how multi-faceted you are? You are one person yet many personalities. A few months ago I wrote that social media isn’t a marketing tool, it’s a way of life. Think about this for a moment. You have a profile or a persona on every social platform you become a part of. Why is social media a way of life? Well, think about “you” for a moment.

- employee
- husband/wife
- boyfriend/girlfriend
- friend
- son/daughter
- father/mother
- lover
- and more
It’s a bit of an abstract concept but in a way you are your own network. You play many roles both online and offline and you have to represent yourself in many different ways to many different people. It’s actually quite challenging to play so many different roles, but it’s also fun and rewarding.
