Well I'm almost two weeks into my new found awareness of social media and I have to admit I don't think I'm much further ahead than when I started. Facebook - now if someone had to design a complex, complicated, system, this is it. Obviously whoever put this piece of work together hadn't heard of the KISS (keep it simple stupid) theory. More options aren't always a good thing! Maybe I'm stupid or even worse I'm slipping into the dreaded category of silly old fart out of touch with technology. I don't think it's the latter because most things I can work out eventually (and I'm not that old!). Maybe being a bloke doesn't help - you know us blokes never read instructions, we just play with stuff until we find out how it works. Or perhaps its my underlying resentment of being forced to follow the masses - to do and think like everyone else. I feel like a sheep! Whatever the reason I'm struggling with Facebook.
Now on to Twitter. This one seems a bit easier to master. Easier to follow and I like the way a post is only a few words long. Short and sweet, one sentence and its done. I like that! It seems much less time consuming. I also like the way I can find some really interesting and informative stuff by following another user. Much more than Facebook.
My only issue with Twitter is how the hell do you make people follow you. How do you put it out there.
Anyway that's all of my social-media challenged musings for now. I'll keep you posted. Or just follow my progress on twitter.
