We all remember high school - a time marked, in part at least, by being part of the "in" group...or not. It was a big deal. For many, perhaps traumatic, depending on whether you were in or out.
Folks generally knew which group you were part of. And we were painfully aware as well. Some groups also arose out of how much money your family had...or not. Or where you lived. And other characteristics. It was often not nice to not be part of the "in" crowd but sometimes you had no choice. Someone ELSE made that decision.
Cliques continued in college, depending on the school, whether you were a frat guy or in a sorority, along with other groups, too. Perhaps you were part of the party crowd. Or maybe one of the studious ones.
Being part of the "in" crowd, or not, is still a big part of our lives. So much of it revolves around technology and the "IN"ternet these days.
Are YOU part of the "in" crowd??
Do you use a Droid? Android? Blackberry Storm? iPhone? Something similar?
Do you have at least one Facebook Business page?
Do you Tweet? And Retweet? Use Hootsuite? Know about Twellowhood?
Do you check in with the newest darling, Foursquare?
Is there an iPad in your collection?
Are you "skyping" with clients and prospects?
Do you eyejot? Have you scribd? Are you a Screenr?
Is a Flip video camera in your pocket or purse at all times? And do you use it often?
Are LOL, IRL, F2F, BTW, IDK, IMO, OMG, TMI and similar abbreviations automatic?
Do you TM, IM, EM, DM and leave VM?
Are you on ActiveRain and active?
I like to think I AM part of the "in" crowd. I try, at least. But it seems that whenever I go to some sort of convention with a focus on technology I end up feeling I am not really quite there. And perhaps I won't ever be.
Or when I think I really AM with it, someone else comes along to make me realize "dude, you ain't with it at all."
I'm OK with that. I do what I can and what I enjoy and it works for me.
In reality, I think most of us ARE part of the "In"ternet crowd, unless you are living under a rock. And there is still so much that has to be done face to face with our clients.
How about you?
