Ok - well this has been a great chat and very insightful. Thanks, Con (and all you lurkers). See you next week and definitely in 2018! The "original" #SocialCafe (circa 2012)
@conpsweeney Thank you for the thank you, Con :) It has been my intention, for how many weeks (years)? Hey, what is intention without action..? #LinkedInChat#SocialCafe
Shhh... Con doesn't know this yet, but I think we should put him on the spot tonight during #SocialCafe | Why? ...because he is one of the smartest, wisest guys out there!
Seriously, though, anyone can answer this question, so we will add our "Q" to the tweet to open it up if someone else wants to add their wisdom #SocialCafe
@MAGAGunslinger@PMgeezer Apparently, Twitter wants to destroy itself with its censorship. Coming Dec. 18, 2017. HELLO gab.ai ... #SocialCafe next to be created?
@Kathrynclang The idea of censorship is an interesting one.. I'm curious who decides on it and how far? I mean, we allow #fakenews and #cyberbullying but there could be #censorship in other areas? I wonder where the line is.. #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney I agree. Unless someone has unlimited funds (or a desire for unlimited power), is there a need for another one? re: #socialMedia platform/network #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang That's a good one, too, Kathryn. It is like, YouTube has been done.. Podcasts have been done... but that seems to mean we get hungrier for audio and video #SocialCafe
Related to what @Kathrynclang said about audio and video, I think we will see more Wordpress plugins and more affordable rates (or medium level) #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney So, a person can make someone cry or hurt them (i.e. #cyberbullying ) but don't make any money feeding your family... #SocialCafe (and then allow those who have to pick on those who have not... continuing the #bully cycle)
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney It's a crazy world - only made crazier through the ease and availability of social media :( #socialcafe - the best we can do is try to add positive from our side.
@conpsweeney I wonder, if as a part of that, we see more rogue software with advertising hacks (no offense to the developers or the software ... a better word would be alternative ) #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney Oh so true! I just wrote an article last night.. Someone wanted one on "alcoholism and self-care" and I got to thinking about how easy it is for people to accuse people of things like being an alcoholic because of the ease of use of #SocialMedia#SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe I think THEY know the answer - but they forget that the answer is ever shifting and the next best thing can change it all! #socialcafe
Weren't we talking last week about how whatever worked even five years ago, in making money online, doesn't work anymore.. Like @Kathrynclang says, with things changing... #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang Oooh.. That almost makes me feel excited, like what is behind door #2? Like, maybe there is something really cool out there. But, do you think we should fear it or embrace it? #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe I think we will shift back to traditional marketing, sales, and business basics - and stop relying on gimmicks and flashy signs #socialcafe
@conpsweeney Con - please tell me you are not reading my mind... Either I write an awful lot of articles or you are psychic.. I just wrote about cryptocurrency a few nights ago #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe The only way to get there is to embrace it - and to embrace it in your own unique way. Key for 2018 - you can't do it like they did #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe The tried and true - create lasting relationships and be relentlessly helpful - wrapped up in the unique you! That's what will make the way in 2018! #socialcafe
@Kathrynclang Ok, @Kathrynclang - you need to make a poster out of that one :) I'll retweet it. That is a great way to describe it and encourage people #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe That made me snort :) I have been told that I shoot rainbows out of my website - so just a little on the optimist spectrum ;) #socialcafe
@socialwebcafe You know what they say, give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters with an infinite amount of time & one of them is bound to write #Shakespeare ! #socialcafe
All of this optimism does remind me (and not sure why I didn't think of tweeting this previously in #SocialCafe ) .. If you want to be featured as a famous blogger, fill out this form (absolutely free...) >> http://socialwebcafe.com/featured/
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe My husband does not always see the silver lining (like . . . total opposite) so I'm used to it. But even a little light makes a big difference ;) #socialcafe
