Come on everyone, today's Daily 90 (seconds) is here, Let's Get Social!
Everyone's doing it, it's social media! Make friends you'll never meet, go to "events" in your own home, hell now you can even "hangout" in your boxers and no one will know. You've got Twitter (where stalkers hang out), G+ (Where I hang out), Facebook(where your girlfriend hangs out), LinkedIn (Where your boss hangs out), MySpace (where bands hang out), and so many more. I mean who can forget Imgur, Reddit, Tumblr, and all the other dozens of sites that can't spell their names right.
So what do you do? I mean you can't really be active in all those at once, but even better, why are you trying so hard to? Get outside, make a phone call, visit a friend. I'm a techno-crazed fanatic as much as the next techno-crazed fanatic, but really, sometimes you just need that face to face. Games are going online, meetings are going online, employee reviews are going online, interviews are going online, everything is online. I mean yeah, that's really awesome, but eventually aren't ya gonna forget how to bathe? Or tie shoes?
My advice is pick a couple of those crazy social sites (Me? I use LinkedIn, G+, and Twitter occasionally), and just focus on them. If you spread too thin, no one will notice you, and frankly you'll never see sunlight. So remember one thing when you leave this blog, Social used to actually mean dealing with people directly, so don't forget that whole non-internet thing called talking.
See ya next time!
