I can remember when My mom sent me off to my first day of school. She put me through this checklist that included getting me all spit-shined, presentable and various index cards tucked away in my pockets, lunchbox and school folders. My mom wanted me to make a good first impression and have a way for others to get in touch with her in case I got lost!
Well, here I am headed to SAP TechEd Las Vegas and going through that same type of self-checklist, but this time I am sharing this list with you for your social media first-impression.
LinkedIn Profile. LinkedIn is the social media hub for most SAPers, customers, media and other passionate fans! Native behavior of this group is typically to search on the profile of so done you have just met or are going to meet for the first time! Here are a few suggestions for you make a good first impression on those searchers:

Twitter Profile. The Twitter profile is fast-becoming the next LinkedIn profile. If you use social media and Twitter then your profile needs to be as sharp as your LinkedIn information. However, the challenge is that you have only 160 characters to do it! Here are some steps to cut through the clutter:
Please take a look at my profile at http://www.twitter.com/gerrymoran for some ideas. And when you stop by please follow me! I'd love to connect with you.
Instagram Profile. If you've not embraced the best social photo service yet, then now's the time! If you are a closet iPhone photographer like me, then this service is for you! However, like Twitter and LinkedIn, you need to have a photo-centric strategy! If you can't find something to take a picture on the SAP TechEd Las Vegas floor then you need to look a little harder! I already have 5 picture-based blog ideas!
Make sure that you do your last-minute social media check-up to ensure you make a good impression and others. Make your mother proud and yes, what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas .... unless its on social media, then we all see ... even your mom!
