Do you have 3 AM Relationships in your networks?

A long-time and 3AM of mine friend of mine just wish me “Happy Birthday” via Twitter.

What 3AM Followers are you creating?

Which emphasized to me again which is, these social networks are about relationships. Even more importantly the depth and not just the breadth of those relationships.

3AM means who can you call at 3AM and feel comfortable doing so. No hesitation. Essentially folks you would do anything for and they would do anything for you. People who if you flew into town would have to go see if it was business or not.

The real questions:

Who do you want to meet to create those relationships?

Who wants to create a 3AM relationship with you?

What value are you willing to invest into this to elevate this to a 3AM relationship?

Remember, these types of relationship doesn’t happen overnight. You can only have but so many 3AM relationships. You may have some 9-5 or some 10PM, but the point is we are building relationships and in a world of thousands of followers, the question is “are you building any meaning to these friends, followers and connections?”

Vlingo application for iPhone, it is available fo Blackberry, Android & various other devices. Currently, it is only able to update Facebook and Titter for Social Networks via voice command. I expect Vlingo

While this video shows the to expand this to additional Social Networks but in the meantime its still a pretty nice app and will make it a little safer for folks updating on the road because we never text update while we drive . It will even do voice cammands for Google searches, map directions and much more. Best part, its FREE !
