What is your motto when working on the web?

July 19
I have joined Google+. It is a new social network meant to out do Facebook. I like it because you can keep private matters private and yet still have social friends from all over the world. It is slow going as I have yet to figure out how to add people. I was lucky to have a mutual friend add me and then I went through her friends and added people that way. I hope in time to master this new network. I like to keep on top of new things happening on the web. It keeps the brain from getting rusty and helps keep my writing current and my friends in touch. I really enjoy Facebook and only regret the lack of privacy. As an author, you are a public figure, and everything you do on the web must be carefully thought out. But then again, now that the web is so prevalent in everyone's lives, I suppose the best thing for everyone to do is to always act as if your Grandmother is watching. Don't do or say anything that you wouldn't want her to hear.

I haven't tried google+ yet. I guess I'm in that "I don't wanna sign into yet ANOTHER social site; I can't even keep up in the ones I'm already in" mood. But if I hear it's better than everything else--like from you!--then I suppose I'll be a lemming and join along too. You're right; a writer has to keep on top of new web things.
ReplyDeleteThe Grandma theory works for me, though I'm sure I've aleady said something somewhere I wouldn't want someone else to see. Sigh. Sometimes that big mouth of mine just won't shut up.
LOL- Linda, I, too, tend to blurt things out from time to time that make people go- What?! It's hard to be good all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you posted on Google+. Cheers~
