Is Social Media Making You Feel Disconnected.....

I love social media, I use it for work and personal friendships and it was instrumental in a successful rebrand of my business a few years ago. For most of us with small businesses, social media has been invalueable for putting our message out there, raising our business or personal profile and giving us a platform to speak on whichever issue we want to discuss. Social media gurus tell us that it is the way forward for business owners, we grapple with tweets and struggle to keep up with facebook and all the social media sites.

It is much easier and less time consuming, that is agreed, we can project whichever personna and emotion we wish, but what price do we pay for our fascination with 'techno-talking'? I agree that it is easier to fire off a few tweets and facebook 'likes' in order to keep in touch with others but I'm still a firm believer in real brewed coffee in a fantastic Dorset cafe with good company, a few business magazines and a 'realtime' conversation.
