Engagement CircleThis is my first sharing of this Engagement Circle since it was recently featured ...Engagement Circle
This is my first sharing of this Engagement Circle since it was recently featured on Mashable (http://mashable.com/2012/08/21/google-circles-marketers/). Here's how Mashable described it:
Offering your audience an engaging experience no matter which channel you’re reaching them on is the sign of a successful campaign. This Google+ circle is a collection of experts focused on engagement, as curated by Gideon Rosenblatt. Following this circle will give you updates about relationship marketing, relationship management, community management, engagement technologies, and civic engagement.
The circle they pointed to was my first iteration of it from back in February when it included just 80 people. It now has 402 (I included myself), and the Mashable description is still pretty accurate. You'll also find lots of SEO folks here and marketers. I've drawn a distinction, which may go away at some point, between my "Engagement Circle" and my "Social Networks and Social Media Circle." Not that these two should truly be separated, but the social grouping was so rich I decided to break it out into its own circle. I'll share that one again soon.
Who Should Add this Circle?
This is a big circle, so not everyone will want to add it whole. Some of you will want to use it to pick and choose new folks to your already existing circles. If you're new on Google+, and you're into the field of marketing and engagement, this is a great way to power up your stream with some interesting content.
Getting Into this Circle
Part of me really loves sharing the circles I curate because it helps me connect with new people and also because it helps connect other people who need to find each other. The part I really don't like is when people get insulted that I didn't think to include them or whine. Please don't do that. If you think you should be in this circle, or think of others who should be in it - please just add a comment. This is a judgement call on my part. That's just the way it works because I'm the guy who has to deal with the flow of content from the people I add. Please be understanding of that.
Sometimes I make mistakes. You will likely find a few people who I added to this circle by mistake for some reason. Sorry. That happens, and it helps if you let me know (discretely, so as not to upset or embarace that person). Generally speaking though, this is a high quality, large circle.
Thanks in advance to all the great people already in this circle they really do make for a much richer experience for me here on Google+. I hope you'll enjoy them too.
