Comments on: Day 50-ish? Aw f*&k counting… :) http://www.365daygirl.com/questions-from-a-girl-about-social-medi A real girl's experiment to create her own personal brand and master social media. Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:45:16 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Manny http://www.365daygirl.com/questions-from-a-girl-about-social-medi/comment-page-1#comment-183 Manny Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:46:47 +0000 http://www.365daygirl.com/?p=363#comment-183 It ends up becoming a job in and of itself as I am sure your discovering, where do you draw the line? That is the big question, for instance, I tried using the social oomph twitter plugin, but have decided to put that on hold after 1 day of use. It became evident that while it did provide some great information, and I am responsible for what kind of information it gives out, it came across to me as spammming and for me that simply did not do. I noticed a drop off in people looking at what I posted. How did that differ from some of my days when I send out 20 tweets of info in on hour? I control the content, the content does not control me. While one could accuse my firing off as "spammish" it is done with my voice in mind, especially when I add little comments behind my posts. It's me, and it feels like me, these posts while having my interest immediatly did not feel like "me" and I ended it. Producing, keeping track, responding, being responsible and feeling how the content you develop is being perceived is a lot of work and someday perhaps doing "all" of this will be done from one platform, one app, one location at the push of a button and the whisper of your voice, but in the end it's about doing "manual" labor and right now that is OK with me. At least it is mine. It ends up becoming a job in and of itself as I am sure your discovering, where do you draw the line?

It’s me, and it feels like me, these posts while having my interest immediatly did not feel like “me” and I ended it.

Thanks so much for visiting my humble little site and giving feedback on this crazy project Summer! You are rad. Anyway, yeah I am very impressed you manage to stay consistent and fresh with your blog + full time job + full time school + romantic relationship (cause you know, that gets a lot of time and attention too). So it can be done and done well :) At the end of the day or the post I do enjoy it all and wouldn't have it any other way. Hooray for link love and comments!

It is nearly impossible to keep up with it all. At least for me! I work full time and go to school full time so I am definitely not as on-my-game as I would like to be. Blogging is like a second job for me, but at the same time I enjoy it so it's really not work. When it starts to feel like work, then it is no longer fun and you lose the reason for doing it to begin with. I guess my only advise is to do what you can and don't stress about what you can't! First, thanks for the link love!
