The bigger and better your network is, the easier it is to spread your information.
Interesting people will only connect with you if you have something interesting to say.

Social Media and Resilience
Social media can help make your message
more powerful by spreading it faster and wider and getting people
more interested. Interested people are more likely to pay
attention to what you are saying.
But: Social media cannot replace your existing activities.
