Social Karma
My name is Jim Harris, I am the Blogger-in-Chief here at Obsessive-Compulsive Data Quality (OCDQ), which is an independent blog offering a vendor-neutral perspective on data quality and its related disciplines.
I am a recognized thought leader with almost 20 years of enterprise data management industry experience in data quality and its related disciplines. I am also an independent consultant, speaker, freelance writer, and regular contributor to Information-Management.com, DataRoundtable.com, and EnterpriseCIOForum.com.
Social Karma is a collection of OCDQ content about the art of effectively using social media in business. An effective social media strategy is essential for organizations as well as individual professionals. Using social media effectively can definitely help promote you, your expertise, your company, and its products and services. However, too many businesses and professionals have a selfish social media strategy. You should not use social media to exclusively promote only yourself or your business.
You need to view social media as Social Karma.
