I'll avoid getting wrapped around the axle (by which I mean...oh forget it... :) )<BR/><BR/>Your response about relevancy is similar to what was written about today in the WSJ (I'm sure it can be found). They were emphasizing the importance of being 'followed' and how that happens (as you said, being relevant).<BR/><BR/>And I was caught off-guard today by Dan Schorr on NPR and his parting comments on twittering. I'll leave you in suspense on that, but as I said it was the last bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042610964267567247.post-36908942153248029112009-03-03T22:47:00.000-05:002009-03-03T22:47:00.000-05:00Thanks, Jen!Joel, I think it's a bit of all the th...Thanks, Jen!<BR/><BR/>Joel, I think it's a bit of all the things you mentioned...a lot of this is just freight if people are only kicking the tires. Social media can work if what you blog about or twitter/facebook about is RELEVANT to the people that read it. That's the only way you can find an audience whether you use social networks for personal or business reasons.Brian Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287450196441749607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042610964267567247.post-5766213589978820102009-03-03T20:34:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:34:00.000-05:00Loved this post, Brian!Loved this post, Brian!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242866004024532623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042610964267567247.post-36022955104196914232009-03-03T14:23:00.000-05:002009-03-03T14:23:00.000-05:00I wonder if the time taken to do such things is ta...I wonder if the time taken to do such things is taking away, materially, from something else (like being a better photographer) -- assuming you're well beyond the set-up and learning curve phase, maybe you could take a shot at that? Maybe people are sleeping less, I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Also, I wonder how much of this type of this is a fad (remember myspace, glowy bluetooth headsets, pipl, etc) and/or is this stuff just becoming part of the freight of modern daily living.<BR/><BR/>Joe Milanowski gave a thoughtful response to my questions in this area and I certainly enjoyed your sharing the results of your experiment - very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah -- how much of this wondering on my part is just a geezer thing?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616465446446253237noreply@blogger.com
