Too connected, perhaps?

I just got finished sending a direct message to a twitter 'follower' (that's weird to type) who asked me for my myspace and facebook info. No biggie. But it did make me think: is it possible to be too connected? Account wise, I have a facebook profile, myspace, linkedin, youtube, yahoo messenger, tagged, blogger (of course!) and now a twitter account (follow me @shamekko if you're interested).

Is that too much? Then again there are a lot of social networking & apps I'm not attached to like digg, stumble upon, etc.

Honestly I fear the possiblilty of having someone see some unsavory things on one of these profiles, especially my current employer. This article in CinWeekly speaks about how it can work for - or against you.

Recently I had to untag myself from a youtube video. I'd be dammed if my co-workers see me engaging in some New Years foolishness. Lawd! Ooh, just cussed now - oops! But you have to be careful what you and your friends post on the Internets! There's a fine line of interacting and missing a great job opportunity, so watch out!

On the flip side CinWeekly reviews five popular social networking sites, along with their pros and cons.

Somebody give this dude a deal!

Random Question

Is it wrong or selfish to stop giving advice to a person? Especially if you don't have the desire to be bothered with 'em at the moment?

My Weekend summed up in one photo :)

A thought for Friday...

Hush...it's a blessing!

I told a close friend this last night when he was shocked by how fast his latest creative endeavor has taken off. When something is going good for you, enjoy the ride, don't take time to question your success. If anything, build on it!

Question

If you don't value yourself how are others supposed to?

This Shirt Is Very Cincinnati

It's a collaborative effort between the companies Rogue Status and Unheard of, which is based out of Cincy.

Nice to see Cincinnati getting recognitions for something positive for once...
