So the role of the handyman has morphed from the “around the waist” tool belt handyman to one that uses the tools of the keyboard. I have to say as an actual handyman that the “media” handyman can now make no uppity claim with this new status as if it offered any socially upward mobility-no sir. The status of a handyman shall remain steady as she goes. Though I can attest to the term ‘handyman’ which seems to be increasing in popularity as I see it being used more often in non-traditional settings, such as a social media handyman.

But I have to admit the activities of the social media handyman are much less physically challenging compared to, well this old handyman. In fact, if it pays anything I will trade in my tool belt any day.

Welcome to the growing sphere of handyman everywhere. You’re not the first one I’ve run across that is applying the term beyond the traditional hammer, nails and power tools. I’ve got to think about this idea as I’m sure there are several fun stories to be written.

Have fun being the social media handyman.

I like to try to fix most things on my own. It seems like the easy jobs end up being the hardest/more time consuming than those you think will be hard to begin with. Sometimes I get in over my head. Atlanta Handyman is highly recommended on big jobs, and the small ones that ended up not being so small!

Do you have a handyman special for my WP blog?! Kidding!

A few questions that come to mind for me, Paul, based on questions I get every day:
1 – Should a company blog be written by one person, or several, or by a faceless “voice”? Should a company have one person as it’s “voice” in the market via various social media platforms?
2 – Is MySpace relevant for businesses at all? Or only kids and musicians?
3 – Should I claim my name on all the social networks, even if I never intend to use them, just to “reserve” it? What about my company name?
4 – Every time I turn around, a new social network or platform crops up — Facebook, Friendfeed, Backtype, whatever… How can I keep on top of it all, and how can I know what’s good to pay attention to, and what to ignore?
More later…
Welcome to Da Fix. Really, really pleased to have you here.

Welcome to the MP family, Paul! Any special advice for nonprofit trade and professional associations? Several clients fall into this category and many are operated by volunteer boards. So, time is a factor for them. Thanks!
