Anyone else notice an increased level of backlash against social media in general and Facebook specifically?
Yesterday, it was Garry Meier of WGN Radio, who wasn’t so much as trashing it as he was questioning how and why it fits into our media-saturated lives.
This is all a natural (and recurring) response to anything that takes an increasingly prominent place (some might say “invades”) in our lives. And it’s especially prone to happen when we didn’t really see it coming–it just sort of happened incrementally.
We’ve all heard (or are) the stories of people who scoffed at Facebook, checked it out once to see what the fuss was all about…and got hooked within minutes.
Whether you are born again in social media or a social media sourpuss, on my LinkedIn account is a slideshow, first created in March 2009, that may be a helpful reminder of the simple step-by-step process that you can take in this realm–without having it take over your life.
(Note: this presentation was geared toward an Oak Park, Ill. audience, so the “Pope” you see with the red ticket is David Pope, our village president. A little inside joke there.)
One last thing: it’s still lawful to become a fan of Inside Edge PR.
