The Power of Expanding Your Network by One

June 23, 2014in Tech News 0 Comments

(SOURCE: Mashable) For the past five years, Mashable has united the globe for a celebration of Social Media Day, when we celebrate the ways social media has changed and enriched our world.

Five years ago, everyone’s social followings were probably much smaller, with fewer connections across those networks. So this year, we’re taking a moment to recognize that a single connection is just as valuable as 1,000. We’re calling this global experiment#1Connection.

SEE ALSO: Mark Your Calendars for the 5th Annual Social Media Day

The #1Connection movement aims to build global bonds across the web. We’re encouraging our more than 16 million social media followers to expand their networks by one in order to strengthen the worldwide social media community. Think of it as pen pals for the digital age.

In the weeks leading up to global Social Media Day on June 30, tweet the hashtag #1Connection. Doing so will automatically enter you into a global exchange of @-handles. On June 30, we will pair up entrants based on their interests, encouraging them to follow each other and wish one another a happy #SMDay.

You could be paired with someone from the other side of the world, someone who frequents your local coffee shop, a celebrity or a global influencer. (Hey, it could even be our CEO Pete Cashmore.)

Some examples of tweets you can share:

  • On #SMday I’m going to follow someone who tweets #1connection. Join me and expand your network by 1 http://on.mash.to/1connection.
  • On #SMDay I’m expanding my network by one. Be part of #1Connection to join a global movement! http://on.mash.to/1connection.

You have until Friday, June 27 at 12:01 a.m. ET to join the #1Connection movement. We can’t wait to connect with you and celebrate Social Media Day around the world.
