You got me there – I didn’t mean to say your Bebo friends weren’t real people. I meant that it’s good you’re going out to play more in the real world, if you see what I mean.

The chat room is a nice idea – but if I could speak to people instantly, I’d never get anything done. Maybe a forum or something?

I didn’t know what WB means – but I do now – Write Back.

LOL Rita – I fell right into that one saying the folk on Bebo weren’t real. I wonder what age we run out of “good stuff to talk about.”

Hi Mark – It’s brilliant that you get all that work from social media. I must admit, from the traveller point of view – places like Trip Advisor and forums have made it a whole lot easier to find nice small hotels that we wouldn’t have known about without the Internet.

i didn’t say this is my life your ruining it but i don’t know what i said.
also the people i speak to on the internet e.g (bebo) are real there my friends from school and i have all ways gone outsidde for abit but i do go out more than i used to.
also the reason i think that social media is for kids and teenagers is because we have more free time and we have good stuff to talk about.
and why don’t you make a chat room on your blog so you can host them and speak to people instantly.

love jess and if you know lots about social media you’ll know what this means wb! xoxo

Hi Rita – I see what you mean. You can be making a comment to someone on Twitter but hundreds of eyes could be reading it. I’ve seen folk have real slanging matches on there.

I suspect they forget others are reading – also some probably post when they’ve had a few drinks.

It’s kind of like having every single word you utter recorded and I guess that is very intrusive.

Hi Brad – that is a good point. As you say, if they don’t participate, many people have heard of those networks because they’re so huge. So it’s easier to explain the benefits I guess.

As a business tool, the more we understand social media, the better. I can see it being a powerful tool in connecting with other like-minded people from all over. And that could have many very positive implications – if done right.

You know, I’m wondering if Steve Pavlina uses social media sites such as Twitter and StumbleUpon. I can’t say I recall hearing him mention it in any of his posts – and he gets heaps of traffic to his site.
