So let me see, we are on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and FourSquare. We are connected to each other and each other's network of associates electronically. If we post one thing on Facebook it goes right to Twitter. Soon when we post to the site it will everywhere. When we do a good job we can hear about on all the fore mentioned places.
I have no idea how any of that works. I'm still not too sure how to use Facebook. Wasn't it started to help a college guy meet girls? What is a tweet? This social networking and marketing thing is beyond confusing.
I'm not saying I'm not intrigued. Far from it. The possibilities it holds for educating others is tremendous. The potential it holds to reach others and direct them to do something for themselves is staggering. This point alone dictates that I must overcome any disfamiliarity (is that a word?) with this new media.
This is an interesting time at CFLV. We are going to be updating these media on a very regular basis from here forward. When you hit a PR Deadlift, I'm tweeting it. I even have a smartphone now do it right away. Don't get me started on that damn phone (damn birds).
So what do all of you think of social networking and its potential impact on the gym, if any?
