It takes time to post something since I'd like it to be at least minimally well-written and include the appropriate '80s music video.<br /><br />Facebook is similar except that it's easy to post a quick status and, since I specialize in guerilla smartassery, even easier to throw a comment grenade then get out. Do I have more friends than I probably really care to have? I suppose. But for the core, it's nice to maintain some minimal back-and-forth with people in far-flung places who otherwise would not get to experience my guerilla smartassery. (You are all welcome!) However, to post photos etc. takes TIME especially since I want to make sure to provide witty captions etc. so people like me Like Me LIKE ME.<br /><br />I got a Twitter account to know when my favorite food truck would be in my work neighborhood, so my tweets are few and far between.<br /><br />I don't even know what Pinterest does but its logo too closely resembles that of the Phillies so it's a non-starter.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-19597845308486730632013-01-10T12:02:01.568-05:002013-01-10T12:02:01.568-05:00I DID read all of it and agree.

Aggregate, curated, and niche information spots/sites that tailor to our own interests is the future. Thus the trend for info gathering on where/what we view to better market those type of niche sites/ads to us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-84508653885959720412013-01-10T11:57:46.890-05:002013-01-10T11:57:46.890-05:00I think you bring up a number of good points about...I think you bring up a number of good points about the infatuation people have had with social media. I actually see more of my Facebook friends, for instance, posting more often now than in past years. <br /><br />I think people are a bit overwhelmed with the number of social communities they can join...and then have to maintain, or not. For me, I'm more active on FB and Twitter than I am on Google+ or Pinterest. I'm also different than some other readers of your blog...maybe...in that I've used social media tools to enhance brands for which I have worked. <br /><br />Social has been a big part of the job, so I've naturally tried out a bunch of platforms. <br /><br />Family members have opened FB accounts, shut them down, opened them again. Everyone is trying to figure out how much they want to commit to social media.<br /><br />I think we all need to spend more time having actual conversations with friends, family and customers. Social media can enable this, but interactions shouldn't solely be limited to digital means.<br /><br />There...you have my $.02.<br /><br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113632004250164428noreply@blogger.com
