I have been doing it wrong. Like others in my Twitter list, I too am guilty of p0sting updates which are then automatically updated to my Facebook. What’s the point? Why would someone follow me on Twitter if they are a friend on Facebook? Linkedin, I’m comfortable with my use of. Here is my take on each of these popular Social Media tools and how I will use them going forward.

Facebook - Strictly social. If someone is a friend on Facebook, they might not want to hear every single blog update. Subjecting them to the latest change on one of my rides or an install will eventually be viewed as spam and quite frankly I wouldn’t want someone doing that to me. All that said I’ll be keeping updates regarding my life here albeit this maybe a filtered view as once something is online, it’s for the world to see and will not ever go away.

Twitter - Twitter does have purpose. The key is in it’s definition. I am choosing to use Twitter as my outlet for site updates. Not everyone understands RSS feeds, but a lot of people understand Twitter. If you like this blog and you would like to know whenever updates are made, you can do so using Twitter or by subscribing through RSS.
