Thanks @Nick! I appreciate your comment!

@Tom Francoeur I read that article, a great read.

@Danielle DiGiovanni I can so relate to the conversation, I hate when people already know. I however do keep up with a few people’s lives via social media. Thanks for the post!

I really like this, I felt like I was reading an editorial in a newspaper, I don’t mean that in a bad way. Well put.

Just tweeted about a recent iMedia article that provides some good stories about how Twitter helps personalize brands. Rather than being a distant name or company – many brands are using Twitter to forge personal relationships with their followers. Check it out at http://tinyurl.com/5l5e7r

I don’t think you’re being too transparent.

While friends reading your facebook updates may cut down on potential cocktail party conversation topics, they also keep you informed about each others lives in between meetings.

I love using social media to stay in touch with friends across the country that I am not able to see on regular basis.

I do understand the feeling when you realize how much people know about you due to social media though. Years ago, my boyfriend declared he would no longer read my personal blog because he wanted to hear what was going on in my life from me, and “have something to talk about over dinner”. We’d had too many conversations that consisted of:
Me: “I had the weirdest thing happen to me today!”
BF: “Yes, I read your post about that”
Me: “oh…I forgot I posted about that…” Both: awkward silence
