How Social Media is like a Friendship

Social media is a wonderful way of connecting with people, the strange this is how I find my relationship with different tools is just like a real world friendship.

I meet a new ‘tool’

I get excited by the ‘new conversations’

I start to use and can’t get enough of the new tool

I then get introduced new tools and new freindships are formed which affect the time I spend with the previous sites.

I keep 2-3 tools close, like trusted friends my blog, my podcast and twitter

With the other social media sites new ones excite, the older ones start to fade when they don’t provide value in my life.

Not sure if others feel the same but there is an irony in how our social networking sites are like real world connections!
