Hash tag… shmash tag… Twitter and tweet. Face Book, Linkedin… blog…yada yada yada. My head hurts, my fingers hurt and my butt hurts too! I’m hunched over my computer at least once a week trying to figure it out, sign in and sign out. Just figuring how to add a social media button to my site is hard enough. Yeah go ahead and laugh you tech savvy young and old...you just don’t understand!
I need to get a handle on the whole social media thing. I’m pretty scattered. I don’t know about everyone else but I am wondering about all the time I have consumed doing this. Is it still better than the good old fashioned phone call or face to face chat?
Considering that most people don’t answer their phones much anymore and prefer voice mail, email or texting to speaking, I guess social media expertise is a necessary skill. I don’t want to annoy anyone by actually talking to them! I mean everyone surfs right?...not that kind of surfing...had to throw that in there just in case...have you been anywhere lately where all did not have phones glued to hands?....yeah you too.
I suppose I have widened my business horizons. I have made new connections and picked up business too, but in proportion to the time I have devoted I’m still not sure. Carra Riley calls this stuff the “Cosmic Cow Pie” and I find that term very appropriate.
I am a child of the 60s. I am a trailing catcher upper on the tech front...#SlowLearner. I still use a desk calendar and pencil and try to talk on the telephone on a regular basis. My Mom would probably say “not true!” about the telephone stuff but that’s another story…three hour time difference Mom, it’s a killer:(
See...some of that short hand even seeped into this blog. All my kids write like they text and their spelling stinks! What’s this world coming too? OMG I really do sound like my parents. Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Ana
