I'm a curious, creative, Southern boy working in Anderson, SC. My corner of the internet is brought to life thanks to friendly cowboys at Eleven2 Hosting. If you're new here, you might be interested in the RSS Feed or Archives. You can say hello via .
Quote, “Dear web celebrity who never follows anyone back, I think you’re missing the point of social media.” Oooooh, Twitter burn. And from a self-proclaimed Social Media Rockstar no less.
For the love of the internet, will everyone just STOP thinking they have the market cornered on how I’m supposed to use the web? You don’t. You don’t know. In fact, you probably don’t know what will be the most successful strategy for other people because you’re not them and you don’t have the same needs.
The web is not one-size-fits-all. Please keep your social media shoehorn to yourself.
Amen. (And said much more nicely than what I was working on, which was something akin to, well, if we didn’t really like each other enough to stay in touch, then Twitter and Facebook aren’t going to help.)

The beautiful thing about Twitter – Beautiful – is I can use the service while keeping every single bit of contact with such people completely voluntary.

so good! Its funny because I was just at an event last week for agencies & publishers and there were several sessions on the “power of social media”. Though one guy who was speaking on a panel totally lost his cred when he said he didnt have a twitter, facebook account, etc.
Im really excited to see how this is all going to morph..

Coming from someone who mostly a follower rather than one “to be or is followed,” I totally agree. My feelings aren’t hurt that most don’t follow me back… Maybe I don’t have anything to interest them; but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to offer my own interests and curiosity.
It’s like getting mad that the local newspaper doesn’t subscribe to your family christmas letter.
