I'm 23 years old and I have no friends my own age. Even my future wife is eight years older than I am. Maybe I'm behind the times, maybe I just prefer to communicate interpersonally, or maybe I just like "Grown Ups," but when I talk to someone, I like to get the meat AND the potatoes. You just can't put a price on a firm handshake, good eye contact, and sizing someone up on that first impression. Whatever the case, I am certain I am the last millenial to blog. That's not to say I am not swift and well versed in the technological arts, just that until this point I have chosen not to participate in the wave.
I have to say, I have just recently joined the Twitter community and have been quite satisfied. This arena has given me the opportunity to connect and learn from professionals in my field in a matter of hours. These relationships that would otherwise take years to build have happened with the click of a mouse and 140 characters. Impressive! I question whether or not the sources of my information are credible....? What makes someone who blogs about a subject an expert worthy of 150,000 followers...? How do I keep up with all these conversations...? I just got e-mail on my smartphone, now I need to get facebook and twitter and every which gadget and app known to man...? Please...someone help bring this prehistoric millenial into the new era so that I can keep up with what is being talked about....
I guess, the big question I am asking here is this:
What do I need to do to stay on top of my Social Media networks in 2011?
