The only site that I was truly excited to sign up for was Pinterest. I can never get enough of the pins. So. Many. Pins. Instagram is definitely a fun one and I enjoy seeing pictures that my friends take. However, I had opened an account, closed it, and then reopened it. I closed it because I started obsessively checking to see how many likes my pictures would get, and would find myself feeling disappointed if the number didn't increase. I quickly realized that this was not good and figured if I was only using it for gratification that wasn't really a valid reason to use it at all. But fear not, I am now reformed and am not posting for the likes!
I am completely and utterly new to Twitter. I'm still pretty unsure of the etiquette of the site in terms of how often is too often to Tweet and the use of hashtags, but I am starting to get the hang of it. However, I do not like that some users seem to Tweet so often that my home feed is basically his/her every thought, seemingly Tweeted without consideration as to if this is really something everyone who follows him/her needs to know. Am I perhaps missing something here?
As long as social media is used to positively connect people and help brands engage with their customers, it seems to me that it is good. If, as appears to often be the case, it is used to make others feel bad or as a measure of self worth, it is not a good thing to put in the center of your life.
