Be Social my Friend

Open your mind to the net, be social.
If you are not on the net you become an hermit,
If you tell what others do, you become a blabbermouth,
If you tell others what you do, you become social.
Be social my friend.

Times are changing and the internet has changed how we live our lives and how we build our relationships. Those changes invaded our personal relationships and we got used to it, but now the change is affecting our professional lives to. It is changing how we do business, how we interact with our customers, our suppliers and our competitors, by demanding greater transparency and participation.

I just started this blog with the intention of being social, with the idea of sharing with whoever could be interested, the experience of launching a new business model on the net, www.raff.me
I will appreciate suggestions, criticisms and any opinion that could help me and my team do it better. I am facing different challenges here, professional and personal. Personally speaking, I am not the kind of hyper-social guy who needs to be socialising all day, I am more of a family man who prefers a good book rather than a good party, so that's challenge no. 1 "Be Social my Friend". Challenge no. 2 is, how you start up a company telling everybody what you are going to do and sharing your strategy with the world without being afraid of competition or being copied? Well, you all have the answer, because the risk is worth your feedback and opinion.

We are launching in a few days, so the following posts will be a short summary of what has happened till today to help you understand what's happening.

And remember, be social my friend.
