Social Networking Update

by 1 Comment

It’s one of those days that I just need to say something. Not really important but currently relevant.

About 3 years ago, I wrote about my social networking adventures. Reading my post again made me realize how fast social media goes. You see, most of the networking sites that I mentioned before are either no longer existing or they have exponentially declined in usage (which eventually will lead to closing down)

Just last month, Multiply announced that they are closing down and has ceased business operations by end of May. They have just transitioned from a social networking site to a online marketplace platform … unfortunately, they still did not fare well.

I have stopped using plurk.com, Yahoo360 is now known as Yahoo Profiles (which I have not activated) and the rest has been deleted. 

I do spend a lot of time in Facebook (both my personal account and pages) and I have found the joys of using Twitter. (Hey, it was through Twitter that I won tickets to ComicCon and Bruno Mars Concert!) Unfortunately, when one social networking door closes, another one opens. So here I am with accounts in Pinterest, Instagram, and GetGlue (really cool site if you’re a TV/Movie buff). 

I also have tons of apps for photo editing and fitness counters which links to most social networking sites! 

We are so connected and everything is fast paced nowadays! You want to share your current look? Go upload a photo! Missing your family? Use Skype (or Viber, or Tango!) Gone were the days of waiting for months before receiving news because you have to wait for the pigeon (or owl in the case of the Wizarding World). 

At a recent Time Management Seminar I attended, a speaker said [not verbatim]: “with everything around us so fast paced, we have become impatient (so true!).  In reality, we did not save time … we just managed to rush ourselves.” (Good point!!) 

What are your thoughts on this? (I’m asking you now because I don’t know how to end this post. =P )

    For most web designers like me, I commonly use facebook, twitter, linkedin, pinterest, google plus, meetup and tagged. I actually benefited from there and gained money from my freelance jobs. This social media really works for me. I even got the chance to meet new people with the same interest, and I truly feels nice to have someone to talk to especially now that I have built good connections and businesses with them.
