Let me say this up front – well, reiterate something I’ve said a number of times before:
Your use of social media will vary… and that’s okay. Everyone has his or her own level of comfortability with interacting online and how they approach making connections. In this post, I’ll share my current approach, with respect to LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. (more…)
I recently spoke to the Scarlet Oaks Return To Work Resource Center about how to use social media in the job search. When I mentioned Twitter, I emphasized its ability to connect with others who share similar passions, interests, and experience. Then I pulled up (more…)
Twitter has been around since 2006, which seems like eons in internet time. I signed up in August of that year, and it’s been really neat to see how far the tool has come.

Welcome to another post describing how I use social media. In this case, it’s Twitter (again).
Any social networking tool you use should serve a purpose. You need to make it useful to you. I’ve found myself re-evaluating how I’ve used Twitter over the past three or so years and have made changes. Maybe it’s time you looked at how you use Twitter as well.
The title of this post is meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it’s also serious. I believe that many people who follow me on Twitter might be better off if they didn’t. Your use of social media will vary from mine, and that’s okay.
So, without further delay, here they are: (more…)
