This week #EYorksHour has been inspired by an anonymous participant who completed the feedback form. They suggested a Six Degrees of Separation theme to promote local followers to follow each other, which is a fantastic idea!
However, as #EYorksHour takes place on twitter, the alternative social networking theory is the Three Degrees of Influence.
It is believed that social influence doesn't stop at the people we are directly tied to, we also influence friends of friends, which in turn, means that our actions also influence people we have never met.
Our social media influence ripples through our network having an impact on our friends (one degree), our friends’ friends (two degrees), and even our friends’ friends’ friends (three degrees). Therefore, tonight we are asking you to participate in the #EYorksHour version of Three Degrees of Influence by tweeting us with your social ties.
- A friend (degree one)
- A friend of a friend (degree two)
- The last person to follow you on twitter, who you have never met (degree three)
For example:
My #EYorksHour #threedegrees are @Krissie_Akrill (degree one) @pierce_jo (degree two) and (degree three) what's yours?
Networkers will have the opportunity to compare their local contacts and of course, follow each other. Don’t forget to use #EYorksHour and #threedegrees in your tweets to keep up with the conversation between 8pm - 9pm.
Help us to grow #EYorksHour and share this weeks spot with your followers too:
