Posted on CNNMoney.com by the editors of Money Magazine, there is an article with interesting tips as to not appear old at the workplace. The new techniques they name are texting, Wikis, blogging, and twittering.
I'm sure everyone has already sent a text message in this day and age (if not, you are definitely not living in the 21st century). But business texts are becoming more popular for quick, immediate updates. Instead of leaving a long voicemail that no one even has the time to listen to, send a quick text to inform your co-worker or boss of information or details they need to know right away. By this time, blogging is already pretty popular as well. People are writing on the web about every little thing that interests them or just putting out information about themselves whether people want to read it or not, but blogs are still popular in helping people in the business world. If you put on enough pictures, links, videos and useful content, people have been known to get noticed and then are offered business deals because of it. If writing a blog though isn't your thing, they also suggest just being a regular blogosphere reader to make sure that you are in-the-know about current happenings and help you expand your online searching knowledge.
The two new ones though - Wikis and twittering - are really what people are into these days. A wiki is a webpage where all employees and team members can update to and post information on. The biggest plus is that office wikis can be set to only be accessed by people you trust so you won't have to worry about all your information about your big project being available for viewing by anyone on the Web. Lastly, twittering is when people write short, frequent entries about what they are doing or thinking. Much like a Facebook status, Twitter updates can be followed by anyone and they can learn about many resources they wouldn't normally know by following someone's updates.
So based on these 4 things, how old are you in your workplace?
