Is Social Media just a fad or here to stay?
I have to say when I was first introduced to social media “MySpace” I thought it was kind of a fun thing for the kids. The when all these other sites were popping up like plaxo, friend feed, namez and so many others it just got to be overwhelming.
Anyone with me on this? Near the same time my daughter (now grown) was telling me about MySpace and showing me how to use it, I am feeling like this will be a waste of my time. Then I heard about Facebook and remember thinking it was more for people of my age and more business minded people.
I thought, “how can these people spend their time on these kinds of sights?” Fortunately for me about 2 years ago I had found myself in a group of people much smarter than I and listened to what they were saying. It was clear to me after listening to those I respected as knowledgeable and forward thinking that I needed to figure this out and get on this band wagon.
If you are one of those who still isn’t sure about this Social Media movement, here is a video you may want to watch.
