Random Thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest and Social Media
There was a thread over at www.getitscrapped.com about social media and I shared my thoughts there and thought I'd copy and paste them here:
1. I used to LOVE Facebook when all my girlfriends from highschool were on there; but now I have TWO facebook accounts "Katie Scott" the scrapbooker and "Kathryn" the lawyer. Both of my accounts have thousands of "friends" and I don't actually have that many friends. So its hard to find my actual friends on Facebook anymore; I miss that. But I do like that I can have my scrapbooking blog automatically post to my facebook account & same deal for my lawyer blog. So I'm posting stuff on Facebook all the time even though I don't go there often anymore.
2. I use Twitter in the same way I use Facebook; with the exception that I never fell "in love" with Twitter. And I'm also on Linkedin and feel the same way about it as I do about Twitter. And my lawyer self is on Avvo... I feel like we could all live virtual lives through social networking and not have time to live our actual lives. It is all so interesting / distracting / and sometimes time wasting / but still extremely awesome.
3. I am CURRENTLY IN LOVE with Pinterest and I post from my blog; I posted our ORANGE LAYOUTS, and I love to surf Pinterest on my iphone while I workout on the elliptical stepper.
4. I think that with anything, there's a "high" that comes with newness & I think that social media is peaking at that "high" and I even think that it has already peaked. I think the early adapters are getting tired of social media or at least not as super high about it as they once were; but I think that lots of people are still just discovering it and are still riding that high wave. I betcha in 5 years Facebook will be somewhat "has-been" or too commercial and we'll all be excited about the next new thing.
Tell me - how do you FEEL about social media right now? Is it different than a few years ago? What do you think about the future of your feelings on social media (not whether its all super successful in am marketing kind of way - but how do you see yourself using social media in the future). Please leave a comment, I'd love to know.

Rhonda H said...Surprisingly, or maybe shockingly, I have never been involved. I always feel so busy and have a list of things I really WANT to do, so I never wanted to add another time waster. ANd if you think peer pressure is only for Jr. High...HA! My girlfriends NOW give me SO much grief about not being on facebook. Hey, did anyone see that news story a few weeks ago about the major password breach at one of the social media companies? Duh. It CAN happen to you.
Also, I think so much of social media is pseudo-social.People type things they wouldn't say in person. For instance......LOL!
