My oh My, there are so many accounts we have to keep up with if we want to stay relevant and connected.
First there is Facebook. I've been told that's for us older folks, sharing pics of the grands, family gatherings, so forth and so on. You get my drift. I guess it became too much information for young minds to process in a nano-second. By the way, what happened to MySpace?
Then there's Twitter. I've found it to be like a steady stream of pre-written tweets that have no one monitoring them on the other side. Just set the schedule, make a list of tweets, and let it rip. Yes there are some real people that have real tweets, but you gotta really sift through to find realness. Maybe I need to go through and see who I'm following and purge the robots. But I remember when I first set-up my account, I followed anyone in hopes that I would generate more followers. It worked, but now I have to go through pages of tweets to get to the people or organizations I'm really interested in. I'm sure there is a way to "Favorite" my favorites, but who has time for that?
Instagram is quickly becoming my favorite. A snapshot and a quick blurb sums it up. What I don't like about Instagram or what I haven't figured out is how to send a personal message. Is their an inbox for that? And if you like my photo or comment on it I want all my followers to be alerted that I'm the bomb. Are people still saying that, "I'm the bomb?"
And don't get me started on YouTube. I could make videos featuring mwah all day long. I do occasionally check out other peoples videos, but I always end up looking at me. I'm so interesting. I also like to see how many views I've gotten. What? Only 4 views? And all 4 of those were probably views from me, but I don't care. I'm so popular in my own mind. Don't forget to "Subscribe!"
Last but not least is the blog. I like a blog that really doesn't look like a blog. It disguises itself as a website or newsletter. My blog isn't like that. You know at first glance it's a blog. I'm cool with that. It is what it is (I think I'm not going to use that phrase any more in 2014, so played). But blogging for me is like therapy. I journal everyday and blogging lets me share my thoughts with you kind of innocuously.
So if you want to follow me or subscribe to my YouTube channel I'd love to have you, voyeurs and participants alike. And if you want me to do the same for you, let me know, I'll be glad to oblige.
Share the LOVE!
