I feel compelled to remind my readers the importance of thank you.  So often in this new self-centric world that social media fuels, we often forget about others. Services like Facebook, Twitter etc. are teaching us to be narcissistic to a point.  Aggregating your presence is important, but remember if you want to thrive in a community, you have to be a part of that community.  Sharing and conversing is where the best value lies of any content.

Don’t be afraid to converse.  So many times I tweet to someone I don’t know and it doesn’t garner a response.  Connect, share, talk and get to know your peers within your community.  That community could be social media or storm chasing (like me), or maybe it’s dogs & cats or world traveling.  Whatever your niche, there are communities out there.  Get in the game!  ”Social media”, as much as I hate that coined phrase is suppose to be just that; social!

Most importantly, say thank you!  The power of these two words is immense, whether in the digital realm or face-to-face.  It is underused so much in our culture.  Just be thankful, you’ll never go wrong!
