I like it already…

I just registered with Facebook a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t beefed up my profile or anything, I willdo so now, thanks.

I would say you need to join Facebook right away. There are a lot of pictures of you there that need to be tagged!

The first thing I thought was about how your experience is quite a different one than mine. I have not engaged in social media very much or for very long, whereas you have.

Let’s compare those two type of people. People who can remember “the good old days” of social interaction on the web are very likely more patient with the whole thing.
I on the other hand, as a new person exploring the different sites, have virtually no patience with it at all and my experience is very different.

Anyone who uses a site or a community will naturally all go through a learning process so I guess what you have mostly made me think of is “Hmmmm, I want to know what Tamar knows”

In other words, I am lazy. I don’t want to go through the valleys and peaks of a learning process, I want to know what Tamar knows. I have read your stuff, I respect your opinion, so hook me up and write about your experience and what you think is the best route to go and how to get there. Which site should be a must? Which ones suck beyond any singing of them? How do I, a new user take full advantage of the sites?

Spoon feed me Tamar, I will take your recommendations and implement them.

It’s a good question, and one that the high schoolers might do well to ponder before adding everyone that asks.

Like Lori, though, on some sites I don’t mind (especially ones that don’t have very much personal info–Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.). And I tend to add people who read one of my blogs because I’m just too nice (but I’ve turned down people I actually do know just because I didn’t particularly want to be associated with them :\ ).

It’s really risky nowadays. People are looking for anyone and everyone, but it should not be about how many people you know, but who you actually know.

Thanks for a great blog!
