Social Media Postures

PHOTO BY JACKHEART

be with people: tinker with the betas,
but join in where folks are already
be you: appropriate, honest,
consistent just as you would be in
real life (IRL)
be interactive: engage, comment,
respond, inquire, link and like
be mindful: Most people lurk and
observe without ever interacting.
be humble/bold: don’t underestimate
the inﬂuence of your thinking, but
avoid delusions of grandeur
be npr: earn the right to be heard.
