ITB057 I Digress a bit, so just humor me

I Digress a bit, so just humor me!

My phone beeps and dings and vibrates right off of the table all
day long. Each time that happens I assume something exciting has
happened and I got a text from a friend or an important call.
Instead it is just a Facebook comment to a comment that I made,
that I should not have made in the first place. See, while I am
well versed in Social Media for Business, I am not so well versed
in Social Media for Personal.

An example: The other day I saw a facebook update of someone who
was selling a couch because they were getting a new one. I
commented "how exciting. I hope that you love your new couch." It
turns out that it was a the HEB Buy Sale Trade page and it was just
a stranger trying to sell a couch.

## But Renee’ you teach Social Media
Yes, I do teach social media and I am really good at that. I
understand how to use the tools and the platforms but I don’t teach
social. There is a difference between understanding social media
and understanding social. Don’t worry, I have friends and I spend
time with them. However, I don’t interact with them well on social
media. Actually, I don’t hardly interact on social media with my
friends at all.

I use social media as a tool. It is a method for me to gain
information. I love following tech leaders and blogging leaders and
WordPress know-it-alls. Social Media is a wonderful way to learn
about new products. Social Media is a wonderful way to learn new
tips and tricks. It is how I find all of the content that I
read.

It just so happens that in my case, I tend to filter out things
such as a camel getting tickled and what my best friend had for
dinner. I have much rather have dinner with my best friend and hear
those stories than read about them on Facebook. Does that make me
weird?
