Facebook, I resisted for years until finally a friend convinced me to register last year.
'It'll be great for your business!' she claimed...
Well, it has been, I've slowly grown my friend list and am able to use my business page to keep customers up to date with what's happening in Karri Tree Lane world.
It is also a huge timesucker and is crap in comparison to Real Life Interaction. I am wary of my family's safety, and have pretty tight security settings.
Used appropriately Facebook is great, yet so many people seem to be able to get in the poo through being naive or stupid, I am really pretty unsympathetic!
Twitter... I am pretending to experiment with twitter, tbh I just don't understand the appeal. I have my business facebook page set up to automatically update twitter, this works well enough for me ;) I already have a hard enough time keeping up with the emails that I'm sent everyday never mind interacting with people on both facebook and twitter.
In a library setting I suppose I can see the benefits of both Facebook and Twitter, depending on the demographic that you're trying to engage with. You can follow my Web2.0 twitters at @2point0beth
I agree with you and that is correct that it is good for your business! Facebook is addictive, but it is good you have your FB and twitter linked! I dont like it when all my inbox has facebook emails in it , it is so annoying haha! very cool! thanks
ReplyDeleteI kind of felt that you really need to spend a fair while with twitter to see the point of it, adn as you say, it is really aimed at specific types of people. It is a very fast moving flow of information, and I found it easy to get overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about twitter:)
ReplyDeleteI love your view that it is a crap comparison to real life
