My Social Media Workflow
First, there was Myspace. And all your friends joined it. You uploaded all your pictures, updated your statuses, and wrote all your blogs. But wait, now there’s Facebook. Time to upload and update everything on yet another site. Maybe even both at the same time. Weee! Welcome to Web 2.0 and Social Networking.
Now I don’t know about you, but I get tired of having to check more than one site. Or update my status on more than one site. Or upload pictures to more than one site. Etc. etc. So, I don’t. So, what do I do?
Social Networking: Tips and Uses
Well, first I believe in using just one site for each purpose. One site for status updates, whether it be Twitter, Identica, etc. One site for photos: Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa, etc. This way each site has their own specialty and thus their own development, features, etc. designed exactly for one purpose. Plus, this way you don’t have to move things to each new social networking fad. Or upload things more than once.
Second, I believe in using a lifestreaming site to tie all the different sites you’ve updated/uploaded together and be able to share your identity all in one place. From Wikipedia: “Lifestreaming is the practice of collecting an online user’s disjointed online presence in one central ‘location’ or ‘site’.” Thus making it easier for you to keep track of everything your friends are doing or vice versa.
