T2T005: Continuity and Consistency in Social Media
This Tuesday’s episode is designed to give a few warnings about the failure to be consistent and continuous in your online activities. Several negative cases have been brought to my attention recently and I thought it would be a good idea to let you know what kind of damage can occur to your reputation if you don’t consider the importance of consistency. I have also provided 5 Golden Rules of Continuity for you to consider which will hopefully stand as a gentle reminder that relationships can only be built if you work at them.
Things are getting better – I am becoming more comfortable with talking to myself and I am having to edit myself less and less which can only be a good thing. I am also loving searching for an appropriate song although it has the somewhat unfortunate residual effect of filling my iPod even more with music that I have discovered along the way.
Great to have all of you new listeners on board as well.
Till next week…

Consistency
I haven’t got any follow-up links for you today, as the stories came from my experience (and to protect the innocent and all that, I have deliberately omitted any direct reference to company names or specific individuals – so I don’t want to send you directly to the negative cases!)
