I have recently been
looking at social media a little differently and have some some
things that I really don't understand.
1. Why are your
twitter posts just a link to a Facebook post?
2. You are on tumblr
but your twitter posts are just other people's pictures with no real
meaning.
3. You post intagram
pictures and they are your twitter posts with no meaning.
4. Your twitter
posts are your Facebook posts.
Now what I am seeing
through all of this are some people figure that they have to be on
all social media but really aren't. Yes the posts end up all over
but in a lot of cases they are meaningless because there is no real
content.
With regards to
twitter posts going your Facebook posts. Don't complain if I don't
follow you are twitter because we are already Facebook friends so I
see all your twitter feed. I have actually had a friend ask me why I
don't follow her on twitter and I simply said “I see all your posts
on Facebook so don't need to follow you”.
It is fine being on
social media but you also have to remember that email is the main
means of communication so don't ignore that. In some instances we
see people posting on tumblr and instagram but they ignore their
email because they are too busy. Well, maybe if you spent less time
posting on these two other spots you would have time to respond to
emails.
There are some
people that I enjoy their twitter posts because yes they may have an
instagram picture attached but their tweet explains the picture. A
story in 140 characters and that is great. Seeing a picture helps to
tell a bigger story and I do enjoy that. The tweet with just an
instagram image attached tells me nothing.
What people need to
do is figure out what social media they are going to be on and be on
each of them separately. Remember not all your friends on Facebook
want to see your Twitter feed and vise versa. Social media does have
it's place but in some cases I think people figure that they need to
be on everything so that they look important. If you use each of the
platforms correctly you can look important but if you don't you can
look bad. Social media is a means of communicating with different
groups of people depending on the media so please remember that.
