Are you a virtual voyeur?

You’ve taken the first step. Signed up on social network sites, found a few people to friend/follow/buddy. Now what?

Found yourself staring at the screen or watching other people’s conversations?

I know. I know. It’s weird. It’s like that feeling you get when you’re at a party, see two people talking and want to jump in the convo, but can’t find the right opening.

Right?

Wrong.

Social networkers LOVE to find new people to connect with. The beauty of sites, like Twitter, are designed for you to search out people and start up a convo.

In fact, one person I follow on Twitter (who shall remain nameless) was so annoyed that no one was talking to her that she sent out a message that said something to the affect of, “Hello?! Why is no one talking to me? Somone say  HELLO!”  It worked. I said hello and immediatelly began a conversation with her.

After reading this post, I challenge you to find three people who look like cool peeps and send them a message that says hello or what’s up and offer some statement of common ground. (If you’re still not comfortable, seek me out and I’ll for sure say hello!)

I bet you’ll go from virtual voyeur to super socialite.

Just. Do. It.
