How do I communicate?

Somebody asked me some time ago: “How do you manage to update all those social media’s?” And I answered: “Well it’s all handled automatically, the only thing that I maintain is my blog and the rest gets syndicated automatically to all social media.”

Then I started thinking, yes it is true, I do only maintain this blog but a lot of things happen actually when I post this message. A short version of this post is send automatically to Twitter, through RSS the social media Hyves and Twitter are notified and the same post is added there. If somebody reacts on this post through this blog, Twitter, Hyves or Facebook I get an email and I respond where necessary.

The above is just a simple flow that happens all the time. For me as a person it’s very easy to maintain, all I do is read my email and post messages to the blog, but for the outside world this has somewhat more impact I realized. I drafted the image above to visualize how my communication structure works. I think I failed miserably, it looks very complicated, but believe me, it’s easy!

The conclusion? Social media work for me, literally!
