Too Much Social Media-ing?
Let's see....
I have a blog at which I try to update on life events, observations, books, randomness, etc. Though I don't use any stats checkers to see who visits, I think the amount who do -- just from comments -- is a nice, respectable number, a mini-network of people across the country (and a few outside the States) whom I've met and would like to meet, who enjoy a leisurely glimpse into what's happening.
Thanks to work, I also have a Facebook Page. Which I hemmed and hawed against, wondering why on Earth I would need yet another place to inundate people with the events of my life. And yet, Facebook's has enshrouded me in its web, and I am enjoying all the quizzes and games, the connections with current friends, bloggers and the folks from high school. Highly addictive, too; I managed to talk Caesar into starting his own page.
And now, like one of Odysseus' men on the island of the Lotus-Eaters, I am slowly falling under the spell of Twitter. Though, to be honest, I think to really make it work, you need a gimmick or some kind of celebrity. But it is voyeuristic fun reading about the goings on behind the scenes of Robot Chicken or the latest Disneyland news/gossip.
With all this "putting myself out there", I wonder if it's actually too much?

I'm addicted to Twitter too, but wonder if I'm in danger of over-sharing!
I have too many virtual places to be too. But I enjoy all of them. I forget about my facebook all the time...then someone nudges me awake and I remember.
I have facebook and twitter accounts, but rarely check in on them. I still don't get the twitter purpose.
I have to be careful what I put out there. I don't see myself ever doing Facebook or Twitter. Sometimes I feel maintaining my blog while keeping up with everyone else's is VERY time consuming.
Yes I'd have to agree, that you do 'put out' too much! ahahah! Great weekend Greg!!
Check out the little video in my blog today!! LOL
fie on twitter!
and easy on the facebook!
I enjoy your blog too much to see you shrink it.
We all love to snoop and prowl, and social media has given our inner peeping toms a platform. I like that stories are out there and accessible, even after midnight when most of my world is sleeping. Thanks for sharing.
