Twitter and Facebook Do’s and Do not’s

So for anyone that knows me..you know I’m obsessed with social media. I’m a huge self educator and I wish that I could spend the entire day reading blogs,  twitter updates and facebook posts, etc. Right now, I have 21 blogs on my blog reader I wish I had 121! So, I decided to make a new category on my blog for “social media.” I’m always looking for things to talk about and all the lap-band stuff can’t provide a daily post, so here it goes.

My inaugural “social media” category post is on an article posted by Matt Singley on his blog. The post titled, “3 rules for social media” offers sound advice for the common person. You don’t have to be a techie to understand what Matt is saying – it’s pretty much common sense but it’s amazing how many people typically forget it.

My comments on his post:

- Cursing. So true, although I think it is okay to say “wtf?” occasionally. If you are really fired up about something it is better than saying the actual “f-word”.

- Public Life/Private Life. This is hard for me – because everyone knows what a blabber mouth I am. I think when I do have kids I, like Matt, will be cautious in what I broadcast about my children. Right now, I am cautious in what I put online about clients (do we need to revisit the Ketchum Incident, business associates, etc. But, in terms of my personal like (i.e. mostly my lap-band journey) I tell everyone.

- Stay Positive – Like Matt, I have had some trouble with this. I get in these moods and just can’t shake’em.

I really appreciated Matt’s post, sometimes it’s the not so complicated things that you learn so much from.
