Social Media

Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, oh my. Where to start?

Facebook is an excellent networking tool, but I personally feel it should only be used in the private realm. Professionally this is not the place to look, who are we kidding? What can you really find out about someone just by looking at some pictures from their time out partying with their friends in college? It's great for connecting with people, especially ones you already know, but it should definitely be taken away as a role of Big Brother. Here's the link to my Facebook page.

Twitter is interesting in that it can be really useful, but most often it's just really pointless. It's a great way to keep in touch with the world and find out what's happening right away, but there's no need to know every detail of people's lives. For news sites and important people to let everyone know what's happening is great however. The jury's still out on Twitter, but I suppose I'll give it a try. Check me out here.

LinkedIn can be useful in the professional realm; however, I feel that not enough people use it or use it enough to make it effective. It's a great way to connect with people for business or to try and get internships or jobs, but once again not enough people really know how to use it wisely. If LinkedIn became more popular, which I hope it does, I think it would go a long way with helping people professionally. Connect with me on LinkedIn here.
