I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, and it has. Twitter, facebook, my space, Squidoo, PNN, Hub Pages, being a freelance writer, blogs and other commitments have just become too much. Of course, I'm not willing to give up my writing career and I'm too hooked on Squidoo to ever let that go, but I think it is time to back off of some of the other sites I frequent.
We've become slaves to social networking. We have to twitter every update, send a notice to all of our friends at FaceBook and so forth. Besides that, the "coaches" on the social networking sites are really starting to irk me. They sort of remind me of the twitter version of the Stepford Wives. Oh, Pooh, I'm getting too old for that. I believe in trying to stay positive but it takes a little rain to receive a rainbow, doesn't it? Anyway, that's where I am. I have picked up clients so I am very busy with work now. I think I am up to graduate on Rocket Moms and I'll be joining the new group Bonnie has going in September. Along with my blogs, I think that will be enough for a while. I have been sprucing up my older lenses some though. Just adding some of the new HTML I've learned and so forth. When it comes to networking, stay with what works. Personally, I think Squidoo is a great place to network, twitter, not so much. You'll have to determine what works for you and what doesn't and stick with that. Don't waste time on "social networking" that is getting you nowhere!
