Social Media and me

Hi there,

I have problems with Social Media. When I am face to face with people I am quite sociable, but when it comes to the elactronic Social media I am quite lost!

I am trying to connect with people here at WA, and here I feel that there are responses from real people.

But I don't understanf how you can make any sensible communication using Twitters 140 chatacters. I feel (likely wrongly) that most of these contacts are superfluous and not for real.

Ready to put this into action?

Also the Facebook like button; - is this a really serious and genuine like, because you know the person, agree with the opinion or really endorse the product you "like", or is it because we see a lot of our peers has :liked: the person, the opinion or product?

When we network with other people and we can be of assistance, or we can get help from our peers, than we build a serious network. Anything else, in my opinion, is quite hollow and false.

For me the excitement with a new aquaintance is when we meet face to face the first time and we hit it off and can start a verbal communication about topics of mutual interest.

So please tell me am I the only one that feel like this?

Can someone please help me adjust my Social metrix so I can contribute and function naturally in the Social Media World.oftoday?!

Best regards
