All people are different and all the same. We all have different thoughts, different views and different lives, but we still respond the same to various input. In my recent blog post, where I invited you be an A.S.S. online, the second “S” stood for “salute” regarding people’s need to feel appreciated.

On Facebook or Twitter we all notice different things, when we go online, in truth we don’t notice 99% of what’s going on (and thankfully so). We select where to direct our attention by only noticing what is important to us. For this reason, when someone directs their attention our way, they recognize our importance. By noticing us, they’re paying us a compliment. We automatically become more friendly towards this person and in turn notice them.

When dealing with group of people as is done on social media website it’s impossible to pay attention to everyone, but recognize as many as possible. Make an effort to notice new people, talk, acknowledge them as individuals. That’s what the “social” in social media is all about. Remember, a little attention goes a long, long way.
