Digital immigrant

I <3 Social Media. I’m sure I was one of the first South Africans to get a Flickr Pro account [citation needed]. I make jokes that only other geeks would appreciate and I rush to try the newest Beta of whatever.

And I’ve matured slightly online. Slightly.

So here’s my Social Media Manifesto.

• I don’t have to follow you back. I use certain criteria and decide whether I want to follow you. This could take 2 days, or it could take 2 months. Understand that it’s about me and my quest for information, entertainment and more information.
• I won’t feel bad if you do not follow me back. iPromise.
• This is me. I’m human. I make mistakes and I say st00pid things sometimes. So do you. But I also hand out champagne to my new tweeple
• I tend to go overboard with a new service but that phase only lasts 2 or 3 months. (Which is actually a damn long time…)
• I try to interact with my ‘friends’ and my ‘followers’. This does not me a stalker make.
• I don’t do Facebook apps.
• Connect with me on Twitter, Friendfeed, Tumblr or LinkedIn. But I’m iffy about accepting more Facebook ‘friends’, especially those whom I have never met IRL.
