Nice post. It is easy to stay on Facebook hours at a time with the email alerts, invitations, etc.

If I took the time to respond to every Facebook request, I would just get sucked deeper in. I like using it for friends and family, but I find that Twitter (using TweetDeck) is my favorite.

I turn off email alerts for most services, but I still find that once I go to the site (like Digg), I have a hard time keeping it brief.

Thanks!

Funny to see that I’m not the only one who is having that difficulty. Since I’ve got an iPhone it’s even worse. I keep on checking if I’ve received a message via email or my social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Hyves (NL)). It’s become some kind of addiction. ;) So I might need to apply some time management too … ;)

Social sites are a fun way to keep in touch with your friends. You can limit your time on Facebook by checking it once a day, preferably not during work hours. It isn’t as time sensitive as twitter or texting.

A few years back we have decided to cut TV network. I didn’t mid it at all. True, we’re missing LOST but that’s alright with me ;)

I have a Facebook account but I use it the way you mentioned here. I don;t do those gift exchange stuff, etc. The only reason I joined is because most of our church friends joined and it’s nice to hear what’s going on in their lives as well as share some of what’s going on in mine.

Now, my favorite at this time is TWITTER. I find it easy, less time consuming and effective in business networking. It works well for me.

Thanks for this post. I think it’s a helpful guideline on social media networking :)

Aloha,

Nice post. The ones I’m using daily are Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Plaxo Pulse…not spending much time there but maintaining and adding to when I can. Twitter I spend mostly at night while watching basketball at the moment…I try to check them all several times a day. But its tough to find the time to build out social media quicker and leverage it properly…

This is some of the best advice you can get as far as social media goes and you can use any social media website in place of Facebook, but Facebook is pretty much the most addicting social media platform out there right now and I cannot agree more with you that it’s better than MySpace. It is so easy to get lost in Facebook!

My first step was become disinterested in most things on TV. Of course every so often this will slip and i will see 3 or 4 hours disappear, however, i have also taken to keeping a to do list. That i keep a score against of what i wanted to get done that day and what i actually got done. It sure makes you think i wasted my day when you work out you only got 15% of what you wanted to do done. And it makes you think maybe i should skip facebook this hour.

The main point the author makes is to manage your time so that you are able to get your workflow completed and get your social media fix in as well. Here’s the link to the post. [...]
