“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”

Chinese Proverb

In the world of the social + digital web, many of us are still unsure of how to engage for our business on social platforms in terms of “context”.

The Definition of Context
n. Context
1. The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning.
2. The circumstances in which an event occurs; a setting.

You may have seen the graphic around the web using donuts (doughnuts), but we found this super fun explanation of the context of engaging on social platforms using bacon (for our vegetarian and vegan friends, click here for the donut edition).

Now its your turn.  Using this graphic as a guide, try putting your business into context. Try it, you will be amazed how much you really know and understand about the context of engaging on the different social platforms you use for your business.  Ready.  Set.  TRY!

Once you have created yours for your business, we would love if you shared them on our Facebook page or via email.

A big thank you to Corey Smith for creating this awesome and easy to understand graphic, and for putting engaging on the social web in context.

PS: We use the term “social web” vs. “social media” as we believe this revolution is a global movement to engage and connect to world, it’s not just about media. The web is about “we”, while media is about “me”.  We choose WE.
