    My thoughts on this are: there’s a social network for everyone but not every social network is for everyone. Make sense?

    Thank you for your permission :D


  4. I think this is such an important point Laura. I think everyone is falling a bit into that trap with this feeling that we need to be present everywhere yet nothing is generating income because of the inefficiency.

    Thanks for the great reminder!

    I’ve been using Twitter for a while, and I really enjoy it. When it comes to Facebook, I kind of stopped using it when all my friends and family started using it :-)

    But every since Facebook became very popular among friends, co-workers and family, I’ve felt the pressure to “rejoin”.

    I’ve talked with a lot of people recently who have had the same issue. There seems to be a lot of business peer pressure to do as much online networking as possible and people are feeling hemmed in by it all. It’s about time everyone started to decide which (if any) to use that best suits their business profile.
    I’d like to respond some more but just have to update my blogs, then tweet them and join some groups and…..

    Thanks for permission to only use what I like! However, I need to use the tools a bit first to determine my preferences. I like to investigate new technology to find what will work best for what I am trying to accomplish.

    Love it. It’s true that people think they have to use Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes it may not be the best choice! I wrote about this in an article called ‘Are social networks good for your business’. It’s at http://www.joshuaguffey.com/are-social-networks-good-for-your-business

    I’d LOVE your feedback Laura. :-)

    Best,

    Hey Laura
    Great idea that you have shared, very simple but true I have been trying to learn bits and pieces of twitter and Facebook.
    Consequently I have found it hard going and have been wondering if it is all worth while. In the future I will stick to one thing and try doing it well.
    Thanks for the great advice.


  12. I’ve set up a few new blogs this year, that are not auto linked to FB … getting way more traffic … with manual post … so today … before reading this … I made this announcement … Almost Facebook Free this week
