(First Post) What are your attitudes towards social media?

[AnonGuest20g2]

Hi Guys

First of all I'd just like to give a big thank you to MJ, your book is absolutely fantastic and I'm only half way through!! I've struggled to put it down since starting it a few days ago.

So over the past year or so I've been interested in the 'fastlane' ideology (as I now know it to be) and as a result, I have significantly changed my attitudes towards social media.

I've been a heavy user of Facebook and Twitter, like most people my age, however now I only use Facebook for work purposes (nightclub promotion). With Twitter, I have un-followed all my friends and I now use it to keep updated with the latest news about things that I am actually interested in (no tweets etc). I find twitter is great for that.

I noticed too much of my time was taken up scrolling down news feeds, reading stuff I don't care about and posting stuff nobody else cares about. Initially I just planned to cut down on the amount of time I spent on these sites but it has been so successful that I don't use them at all now.

so I'd like to get the thoughts of my fellow fastlaners, where do you guys stand on this matter?


Please note: I mean from a personal perspective, SM is usually an integral part of most businesses.
