It is hard not to get involved in social networking when you use the internet for work. I held out as long as I could but I now use Facebook, Multiply and Twitter. I use each for specific purposes.
I use Facebook to see the latest pictures and news from my friends and relatives. It is amazing how I came to connect with long-lost friends and relatives because of FB. I do not have to remember birthdays because FB reminds me!
I use Multiply to store pictures from my camera. I am waiting for the time they will charge for storage space when it gets too crowded already =( In the meantime, I use it to share photos with my closest relatives and friends. I try to make each photo album like a storybook. I just enjoy sharing my joys through pictures.
The buzz on Twitter finally got to me. I am a twitterer. I have yet to get the hang of starting a twitter thread. Mainly because I have 36 followers and I only know one of them IRL (in real life). Pathetic huh? I enjoy short bursts of wit. I already have favorites. It is amazing to see celebrities twitting about what is going on IN REAL TIME!
Wait - I also have a YouTube account. Someone tracking my YouTube viewing history will know that I am a Dancing with the Stars addict! I do not post anything in YouTube anymore because I do it all in Multiply. But I have a lot of treasure finds in YouTube. My favorites and recommend watching at least once:
1. The family (buffalo) dynamic at the Battle at Kruger.
2. The angst filled song, Because of You , sang by KD Lang and Tony Bennett and Kahit Isang Saglit sang by Martin Nievera. Brilliant artists!!!
3. The EXQUISITE Kristi Yamaguchi as she figure skates in this number .
4. This marriage proposal and the funny and witty reply of Steffi Graf as she was getting ready to serve in a tennis match.
5. Dancing with the Stars clips of course!
Oh and I also belong to several Yahoogroups. I am exhaused already. Now, I need to work on networking IRL!
