My mom is the same way. It's totally a generational thing. I think some Boomers are a little too concerned while some of us non-Boomers may be a too under-concerned at times. We need to be smart but not live fearfully either. Thanks John. My mom is the same way. It’s totally a generational thing.

Every time my dad asks me about Facebook, he says, "You mean the entire world can see your picture and birth date? I'm not sure I'd want to put myself out there like that" or something along those lines. It’s funny that you point out the privacy issue.

Yes. by billseaver http://microexplosion.com/2008/07/21/is-twitter-a-social-networking-or-a-social-media-platform-yes/#comment-1539 billseaver Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:48:47 +0000 http://microexplosion.com/?p=453#comment-1539 Schmoozii: Thanks for the comment. Jeff: I think the people who really have adopted Twitter and see the benefit of it are people who don't see it as just another thing to put on their full plates, rather they see it as something they want to do to that has value. And yes, it would be a sad day to hire someone to tweet for you...and I don't think it would ever work. Moguling: I couldn't disagree with you more. I used to think it was a waste of time but I've seen significant value in the information I have received from various tweets and links. I've learned about breaking news, valuable statistics, and new websites through Twitter. Likewise I've connected with people to some degree with Twitter and learned more about people I'm interested in. It's not been a waste of my time at all. I find it to be a valuable use of my time.

It should be called "stalker", because it benefits those people who have nothing else better to do but follow me around Twitter is generally a waste of time but is fun to play with.

It's great to see our community is growing in Nashville. I should also note that Kelly Stewart and Marcus Whitney were also founders of PodCamp and BarCamp Nashville. I couldn't have done it without them, not to mention the rest of the "Crew". Cheers, Dave Thanks for the interview and post. It’s great to see our community is growing in Nashville.

All kidding aside, I can see some of value, but it seems like we are getting bombarded with things that we have to do to keep up. It will be a sad day when you have to hire someone to tweet for you.

But if I had to call it one or the other it would be Social Media. I agree, I think it’s both. But if I had to call it one or the other it would be Social Media.

Steve: Thanks for the comment. I've never used Twitter for the scratch pad purpose you mentioned (I tend to use Jott.com for that type of thing) but I can see how Twitter would work too.

I've found it surprisingly useful to pick up tidbits of info from people with similar interests, and I use it as a 'scratch pad' to store thoughts (especially on the move). The conversational aspects of Twitter are of course limited but still useful. The Social Media types are very active on Twitter and I find it great for Social Networking in that circle.
