As my friend list has grown I am rethinking that strategy and may "de-friend" some people, leaning towards keeping it more personal and friend oriented than professional (but still keeping out anything that would not want in front of a larger audience.) I recently de-coupled my twitter feed from my Facebook updates. Different audiences should get different information.<BR/><BR/>On Twitter, I connect with people that I find interesting and provide interesting information, whether I know them or have met them. I do not think it is necessary to follow everyone that follows you. You have no control over who follows you. (Don't bother with protecting your updates.) You should not have to flood your twitter reading with updates or people that are not interesting to you.<BR/><BR/>Everyone has different approaches. I personally do not believe that you should connect with everyone on every site. I find that it creates too much noise and dilutes the connections and information that matter to you. You need to find the right balance of connections and information on the sites you use.Doug Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599519275050428569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354839161325888869.post-65594325015467959312009-01-20T21:39:00.000-05:002009-01-20T21:39:00.000-05:00A related question that comes up is whether users ...A related question that comes up is whether users of online networking sites should invite or accept invites from only people they know and trust, or anybody and everybody? Further, does/should this vary by site?Jon Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284987026750957166noreply@blogger.com
