Atas Nama Eksistensi?

Cerita saya kelupaan password atas berbagai akun jaringan sosial di internet seperti Friendster, hi5, WYAN, jaringan-apa-itu-yang-saya-lupa-namanya, Multiply, dan seterusnya, itu sudah biasa. Lebih biasa lagi kalau saya tidak pernah membalas salam kawan-kawan yang menyapa saya di berbagai akun itu. Si Nenek itu sudah hapal kebiasaan saya yang cuma sempat buka akun lalu menghilang. Dan setelah itu tentu saja saya lupa passwordnya.

Toh saya tidak pernah kapok. Walau tahu saya akan tidak sempat memperbaharui Friendster milik saya, saya ho-oh saja sewaktu teman-teman Papap di Jepang mengajak saya buka FB. FB pun sempat saya lupakan -apalagi setelah balik ke Indonesia- sampai FB ngetren lagi disini. Beberapa waktu lalu, saya yang sebelumnya bergeming dengan maraknya penggunaan twitter, ikut buka akun twitter demi melihat status twitternya John Legend yang akan manggung di Indonesia. How silly is that?

Kalau aktifitas FB saya tergantung mood yang kadang pecicilan kadang males-malesan, aktifitas saya di twitter lebih parah. I have no idea what I should do there! Saya juga tidak tahu bagaimana membaca tweet untuk saya, tidak tahu caranya membalas tweet seseorang, tidak tahu apa beda re-tweet dengan reply (bodo banget kan?!), bagaimana cara me-retweet sesuatu ke orang yang benar, dsb dst dll. Yang sepertinya paling gampang untuk saya lakukan adalah hanya bisa nyari-nyari nama orang untuk saya follow. Tapi, setelah ketemu belasan orang yang kepingin saya follow, saya bingung lagi. Apa masih ada orang lagi di luar sana yang bisa di follow?

Kata FOLLOW ternyata memberikan efek mengerikan buat saya. Para Nabi, Budha Gautama, Jendral Sudirman, Gandi, Ibu Kartini, JK Rowling… adalah orang-orang yang jamak kita follow. We follow people who are inspiring. Lalu, tetangga di dekat rumah yang anaknya teman main sepeda Hikari, apa ya di follow juga? Di FB, kita mencari nama orang untuk di add. ADD. And that makes sense.

Belum selesai dengan urusan pilihan kata antara FOLLOW dan ADD, saya juga susah hati karena merasa tidak bisa menyumbangkan suatu pencerahan bagi khalayak ramai di twitter dari sekedar memperbaharui status.  Seringkali sesaat setelah saya masuk ke akun twitter, saya bengong lebih dari 5 menit hanya untuk mencari kalimat apa yang pantas saya bagi di twitter? Kalau kita masih bisa memberi pencerahan kepada orang banyak dalam 100 kata, apa iya kita bisa melakukan hal yang sama di twitter dalam 140 huruf?

Saya pernah dengar pada suatu hari dalam sebuah obrolan di radio tentang gunanya twitter. “It’s for branding. Positioning. Serius lah dengan apa yang kamu tulis di twitter karena 140 huruf kamu di twitter itu yang menentukan imej kamu.”

Kalau corong microphone itu ada di depan mulut saya, mungkin yang akan saya katakan adalah: “It’s for enlightening some minds. Sedikit atau banyak, serius atau lucu, singkat atau panjang, witty atau preachy, 140 huruf itu seharusnya mempunyai efek bagi yang baca.”

    diverse demographic.

    1. Creating a Robust Profile

    To master social media marketing, businesses need to initially
    create a strong foundation on their chosen platforms. This requires creating professional pages that reflect the business’s ethos and purpose.

    Uniform branding, such as icons, color palettes, and style,

    activity patterns, making sure they are seen by the intended viewers.

    Interaction is key to building an engaged following on social media.
    Replying to comments, thanking likes, and joining conversations helps build strong
    relationships with audience members.

    This adds a personal touch to the brand and fosters
    a feeling of community, resulting in greater loyalty.

    Social media marketing is a continuous effort that needs dedication, innovation, and strategic planning.
    By prioritizing creating a solid foundation, developing valuable posts,
    partnering with content creators, utilizing analytics, investing
    in paid ads, and engaging with the audience, companies can achieve significant
    results in the dynamic world of social media marketing.

  8. I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative
    and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking
    intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my search for
    something regarding this.
