It's a selfish endeavor, isn't it? Twitter does have good opportunity for bringing people together with fringe interests, though.

since seesmic allowed me “to figure twitter all out” i have adopted a policy of not allowing twitter folks to make the leap to my facebook… the two worlds don’t mesh, but in fact they collide with seriously bad consequences…

i’ve just recently closed myspace, and have shuttered facebook for a while, or maybe for good… i’m not feeling any need to be particularly social on that site anymore…

happy new year…

I recently started blogging and have struggled with the idea of using Social Media. Yes, I admit my thinking was, "I don't have time". However my thoughts were more along the line of social media being a "time suck" that would side-track me from my writing. I signed up for Twitter yesterday and 'm checking out the Twitter for Business help pages. I've promised myself that I will use it effectively and limit the time I spend on it each day. Havi,

Thanks so much for putting this in perspective. I recently started blogging and have struggled with the idea of using Social Media.

Yes, I admit my thinking was, “I don’t have time”. However my thoughts were more along the line of social media being a “time suck” that would side-track me from my writing.

I signed up for Twitter yesterday and ‘m checking out the Twitter for Business help pages.

I’ve promised myself that I will use it effectively and limit the time I spend on it each day.
