It’s a constant struggle to stay up-to-date on all the various social media sites and applications. What follows is my best attempt to summarize the ones I’m using today, and how.
While you probably saw the big disclaimer on the front page of my blog about my writings, my opinions, and those of my employer, another disclaimer may be appropriate here. While this blog is nearly 100% “work”, the balance between professional and personal tips in a variety of directions on these other sites. It gives me a way to share more of who I am as an individual, and build connections to family and friends as well as co-workers. Not everything you’ll see if you follow links below would be something I’d put on the front page of my blog.
I’ve been on LinkedIn for quite some time, and I gladly link to anyone I have had a professional interaction with.
You can follow me on Twitter. Watching me on twitter, you’ll get a bit more of the person behind the blog, as I tend to comment on more personal topics there. I tweet every blog post, as well as what I’m doing, a few times a day. I’ll also pass along links to interesting stories and chat with EMC and industry folks who also hang out on twitter.
Facebook has grown into a big part of my online presence, as I reconnect with old friends, stay in touch with family and current friends, and even meet a few new people. As with twitter, I try to put a bit more about who I am as a person there.
FriendFeed
I primarily use FriendFeed to aggregate my blog posts and tweets, but after some interesting comments about it of late I will be paying more attention to it.
