Social Media as a Profession

04 February 2008 By BrianFending 9

The blog Global Neighbourhoods recently published a profile of an old co-worker of mine from NetSol [SAP Global Survey: Shashi Bellamkonda of Network Solutions]. I have to say, Shashi and I have both come a long way since our cube-neighbor days at NetSol supporting the ImageCafe product line.

Rachel can recount to this day my coming home from work and saying things like, "Man, that Shashi... he has amazing people skills. He is doing great things for this company." He was an advocate, not just somebody to move things through the queue and let the next guy worry about it. If every worker was like him, CRM systems would work differently.

Well, that was 2001. (Note to historians: This is the year I'd like you to label "The Great Move", when we relocated to Buffalo from DC. Thanks.) My career progress has been marked by moving around and changing gears a fair bit, and his is from the exact opposite position: He stayed put.

Through miscellaneous promotions and lateral moves, he's now "The Guy" for social media at NetSol. It is an amazingly good fit, and I cannot imagine a single person more likely succeed in that role. Hell, I can't imagine a single person more likely to succeed. Period.

Way to go, ShashiB!

    Brian,

    Thanks for the post. I remember the times when we sat in neighboring cubes and helped customers. I am happy that I met you and we stayed in touch.
