Now that I am back from my Social Media Fast, it’s time to jump into the new year (Riv’s calendar really goes along with a school calendar). With this new season of life and a little bit of perspective from my month off, I am going to modify my use of Social Media a smidge. Here’s what I am thinking:
Twitter
I am suspecting this is going to be the hardest part of my Social Media world to jump back into. That’s odd because it was one of the hardest habits for me to break. Now that I am not Tweeting constantly, though, it’s weird to start up again. Not sure how this one is going to change, but I know it will…
Facebook
By far, Facebook is my primary mode of connection with people at Riv and around the world. I am excited to get back in there and start connecting again, but I am going to limit my Facebook time so it is not a distraction from Riv, family and school (yes, I said school…more on that later). Not sure what the limits are going to be, but I am thinking about starting the day on Facebook and ending it the same way and trying to stay off in between. We’ll see…
Blog
I have been blogging for a very very long time and I plan to continue for a very very long time. However, I have noticed that since I started importing my blog into Facebook, my readership has decreased on the actual blog site. In particular, the comments have almost completely died out unless I specifically request feedback. There has been a corresponding increase of comments over on Facebook which makes sense. Because of this, I am going to continue writing on my blog (and importing the feed to Facebook) but I am disabling comments (unless a specific post warrants it). If people want to comment, they can do so on Facebook.
I’d love your thoughts on this, but of course you’ll have to give them to me over on Facebook.
