Comments on: Please join my network…. http://www.lifeonavenuez.com/2008/10/join-network/ The adventures of a new freelance copywriter Sat, 04 Feb 2012 18:09:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gutsy Writer http://www.lifeonavenuez.com/2008/10/join-network/comment-page-1/#comment-14367 Gutsy Writer Fri, 31 Oct 2008 23:25:08 +0000 http://www.lifeonavenuez.com/?p=646#comment-14367 Beth, So I guess it helps to be more ignorant, like me. Remember when you offered me help on how to add the icons of SU, etc. onto my blog. Well I ended up joining Facebook too, but never have added those to my blog yet. Blogging and rewriting my memoir with a freelance editor deadline, take up so much time, plus I meet friends for coffee, and/or dinner, there's just not much time left for other social networking. I admire you though, to keep up with all the latest. Why not add a writing contest to your list of things "to do." I've asked all my blogger friends to "Choose a time in your life when you felt most embarrassed," in 500 words or less," and then getting bloggers to vote on the best story. I shall announce the winner, mid November. The more stories the more interesting the contest. My 14-year-old son said I should join MySpace to advertise the contest. I said, no time to join more social networking groups. Beth, So I guess it helps to be more ignorant, like me. Remember when you offered me help on how to add the icons of SU, etc. onto my blog.

I go on Facebook once a month, and I finally updated Linked In three months after I started my new job. I like my social networking to occur face-to-face over a glass of wine. Life is too short not to keep it real. I'm sure someone could make a convincing argument that I'm somehow missing out on something, but I'll probably be out running :) I feel like an anachronism….

The last time I checked, there wasn't an award for belonging to the most s/n sites. And yes, you have been a little tweetering bird lately -- A long way from the girl who said "yuk" to me when I joined twitter in August.

Totally agree with what you wrote. I think for too many folks, it's all about "being connected" and showing you're part of this group or that group and showing how many friends/buddies/whatever you have. GREAT posting.

I can’t and won’t try to do everything. My Facebook account is used less frequently (maybe once or twice a day, if that). On Facebook, I have IRL (in real life) friends, ex-coworkers and people I meet online that I really like. My LinkedIn contacts are mostly people I know IRL, present and ex-coworkers and people who I have networked with on and offline. Twitter is for everyone else. Just like I have to pick and choose which blogs I religiously follow (and within that, not comment on everything), I have to pick and choose my social networking mediums.
