Looking back, predating any new technologies there was always an 'old' way of doing something. I beta test and try new products, websites, technologies quite often – readily throwing my personal and private life in the open with current shifts towards social interactions.
I stopped briefly, removing a very successful Twitter account, Facebook account and various other social tools due to the issue of privacy but fast forward a few months those technologies are growing stronger, gaining more momentum and becoming central to doing business and communicating with customers, friends and family. I am finding it hard to re-enter the social space as on one end I want to guard my private life as much as I can and two, the social networking scene is growing so fast that my reintroductions into the scene is a lot slower.
How are you all fairing? It seems like to get the best use out of these new social networking tools its more about accommodating it rather than the technology accommodating you. I feel there is a risk of feeling left behind, but really do we have to? Thoughts? Tips? How are you using social networking to your advantage for personal or business?
