Real People Don't Have Time for Social Media - ReadWriteWeb

Real People Don't Have Time for Social Media - ReadWriteWeb

As usual I have left a long time between witters, but the article that I have linked to might have something to do with it.

The article discusses the role of social media (i.e. Blogging [& replying to blogs], Facebook, Twitter, etc..) in everyday life. The blog generated many comments talking about how often people use Social Media and reading between the lines show what types of organisation have embraced the technology and those that have not.

Many of the responders worked in the 'media' or web industry and have embraced the new developing tools and are starting to utilise them as part of everyday life. Many of the 'dissenters' who do not use Social Media evidenced that they did not have time or the ability to to use it.

My view, which I also commented to the post, are that these new media tools will become more popular in the future as corporations start to realise the benefits and understand how to use them to their advantage. Just look at Email and the Web!

Personally I do not use Social Media much, my reasons are...

1. Time
2. I work in a culture that does not embrace the change
3. I have no one to socialise with!

I will try not to leave it so long next time!
