Without it I don't think or know if we would have ever met. I need to follow your rule from this blog post, "constantly examine the ROI" not only in social media but in life. I spend way to much time using social media and not seeing a direct ROI in the time I put in it. Jeff what a great post, social media does add value to my life too.

I spend way to much time using social media and not seeing a direct ROI in the time I put in it.

Specially because i travel a lot and most of the times i am on the road in foreign countries so i can´t just handle my friendships in the common way and go out to socialize. So the social media stream is a great way to keep in touch, share my life with my friends and also start new friendships all over the world. On the other site i have to evaluate the time i put into that too, because from my point of view there is also a big danger in social media: the danger of losing too much time with no real ROI. I have seen a lot of people struggling because they dont approach the social media atmosphere in the best way for them. They put in too much time and the important things of their work are not done. Maybe you can give us all a good advice or tipp how you measure the time you put into the social media and how much it is on a weekly base. filontheroad I agree on all the points in your article.

Therefore, participating in social media technology allows me to share my thoughts, passions, and nuances throughout the day. I enjoy the feeling of being connected to my social media community. I suppose that's why participation in twitter for example, can be addictive. Social Media technologies continue to advance in it's ability to make ones actual geographic location a relevant factor in how well a person can be interconnected.
