social networking

So I’m on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, You Tube and I have a blog.  I use my blog as a journal where I can flesh out thoughts in a more formal fashion and include video.  The post tend to be more personal to me and allow me to explore my own beliefs.  Facebook is what I consider to be an online yearbook of friends from high school, college and grad school mostly.  I post there and my conatcts are updated.  LinkedIn is essentially a professional network that also posts my resume.  Also, good as a job board.  You Tube -  Ihave a few of my own videos.  I’m not sure if I’ll ever be a heavy maker of my own videos, but I do save alot as my favorites and use the interface to post videos I like to my blog and Facebook.

Now for Twitter, I haven’t quite figured it out.  It’s a social and professional network but you have to have a body of work to understand what people are really like and what they are passionate about.  Of all social networking sites, I love to Tweet on Twitter.  Maybe it’s the ease of short messaging and stream of consciousness fell, but I’ve really taken to it.  I can see it’s place to help others understand you and how that may lead to business purposes, but in Austin, it almost seems that who a person is defines your business than in almost any other place theat I have in lived in before.

Did I mention that I love Austin?
