Social media/networking is an area that John and I have worked hard to come to grips with and conquer. I wouldn’t quite say that we’ve conquered them yet, but we’re slowly getting used to facebook and twitter. The next ‘stage’ is to get our youtube channel going with a few short clips of our training and having a general chit-chat, but like anything, we’re not only up against it with having the time to do it, we’ve got to learn how it all works too!

Having said all that, facebook and twitter have been fantastic tools for us, giving us a more immediate and less formal communication platform – and we’ve had some great fun with them too.

I’m looking forward to reading/seeing more about the project so please, keep me posted.

Good luck!

Good luck with all your adventures- a unique angle goes a long way in getting people interested! Something like retracing the steps of some historical figure, correcting some misconception about a culture or even just a different style of transport….

I am doing something similar, well not on the topic but by starting social media interest before I start my trip.

Av found it quite difficult cause basically am just some guy going on an adventure, we all get bored looking at other people’s holiday slides right? lol

But it’s good to be on your toes and seeing what works and what doesn’t. I look forward to watching your film and learning something new

Some more links added to the list: http://www.linkedin.com/ very good place to meet new professional types.
Of course Digg and reddit as well for interesting clips or photos that users can vote.

Enjoyable post though, thanks
