Bob Bly recently wrote an article disputing Clay McDaniel’s claim that we are all spending time in social media. Bob believes that social media can be a waste of time:
“We’re all spending plenty of time in our social network accounts,” says Clay McDaniel, co-founder of Spring Creek Group, in an article in DM News (11/3/08, p. 13).
Oh really?
I for one spend NO time on the social network sites — Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn — where I have accounts. So Clay is wrong.
I wrote a post several months ago arguing that Facebook accounts are completely unnecessary. I received another facebook invitation recently and was thinking about signing up and trying it out. It is free, after all. What do you think?
