Good point Catherine. I think the ego aspect of social media is another angle to be explored.

For most people building businesses, pimping their ego is another time intensive luxury most can’t afford, which further works against them in building social media networks.

My facebook profile consists of approx 100 close family & friends. Because Facebook has become all too hard, & there’s no sign of covering off on the privacy issue, I’m now posting on Google+ (immediately cached my posts, and they were on the top page within hours)

With that said, I keep my time at a minimum, and reserve my energies for creating content, rather than just engaging or talking about it.

I believe social media is amateur hour. Just because someone can create a video or podcast, doesn’t mean they should.

‘The Emperor’s New Cloths’ should sit on the desk of us all as a sober reminder of that those wobbling bits are not very pretty when our ego is given unfettered reign.

Thanks for this post.
Cheers
