#LFS ( Link Free Sunday) what is it and why should you join?
I received a message from Marc Ensign ( just a cool person that I pay attention to 🙂 ) and in part this is what he said
……Anyway, this movement is about making Twitter a better place to connect. We’ve gotten so sucked into the marketing aspect of it that the majority of Twitterers use it to gain something like the sale of a new product, another tick mark on their analytics and the warm feeling of accomplishment that comes with the number of Tweets your post got. But rarely is it being used to gain something like a new connection or relationship. At least not like it used to be.
And the culprit? The dreaded link.
I know for myself that when I think of social networking, I have this image of people talking to each other, sharing thoughts, saying hello and generally connecting one way or another to other people.
The sad reality is that this has gotten lost on many of the social networks, but particularly on Twitter. Whether people are marketing or social media marketing all anyone sees anymore are links being spewed everywhere and I know that I would love to see people talking more!
Marc Ensign has come up with an idea and its one I am fully supporting and its called having a link free day on Sunday or #LFS because when you think about it Sunday is ( or it used to be) supposed to be a day of rest.
Without taking over Marc’s idea, I am just going to refer you to his post……
I am inviting ALL members of Adlandpro who are tweeting with the hashtag #Adlandpro to join in and use the hashtag #LFS and lets show the good folks on Twitter what social networking is really all about! Share this message with everyone you know and lets get something good going ~Thanks

I really like this idea. I get reports from most social sites I belong to, including Twitter. It’s really cool to see how many times an INTERESTING post about something COOL has been shared when that’s what you’re doing. It becomes a conversation among my friends and your friends, and is just a ton of fun.

Twitter is becoming like a safe lists in the past, where everybody is blasting things and few people read it. It looks like people are realizing it. I keep my fingers crossed for this initiative.
you and me both Bogdan and if even only a few people learn that social must come before “networking” or marketing, then this will be a huge success!

Why not use the same idea in the other #hashtag accepting venues?

Chuck, that’s a very good idea. Perhaps if we could get this to spread across the social networks, the internet would become a lot more sociable and business would once again be seen in the positive light real business deserves.

As the affiliate manager of #Adlandpro, how do you suggest that we teach people to be social..not to spread links that people will not see, but learn how to be in a social gathering regardless of the venue and just talk and share?
