Just read an article Why Social Media Matters that suggests that in addition to Blogging, I need to twitter, join Linkedin, and Facebook. Oh my goodness, when do I find time to do these things. Went to a meeting on Saturday and several people said that when they are bored with work they check facebook and other social networking sites. Now, how productive is that? I appreciate the fact that we need to be connected but can't we just use contact lists on our e-mail sites?
How many people are checking these twitter accounts. Are people surfing them looking for interesting topics that appear in under a certain number of letters. Sorry but I forgot how many letters can be used.
Seriously, those people who check my blog have noticed that I have days and sometimes it is almost a week between postings. This is because I run out of time and sometimes, I know that this is hard to believe topics that I think will be of interest.
Will continue to blog but must think carefully before I twitter or participate in other social networks. Letters and cards still work for me. I love mail.
