Allister, you epitomise the very essence of a great social media guru. Generally found in the middle of groups – in bars – being very social.
I’ll look forward to our next Social Media meetup – and the drinks!

I have a drinks rule too. I’ll add anyone to my Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn friends’ list if they buy me a drink.

If they buy me two I’ll even follow their updates.

However, if they buy me three, I generally forget we ever met.

Hannah,
I love the 2 drink rule! what a great way to define levels of security access to your world. My Twitter strangers, through interaction, move to Facebook eventually and then onto text, face to face and the 2 drinks – so perhaps I have it in different order to you.
I share much more on Facebook that Twitter as my Facebook relationships are much better qualified than anything that Twitter can do.
But I share the most after the 2 drinks

Hi Eileen,

I generally structure my online social networking through drink. Linkedin is for maintaining connections with people I meet through work or women-in-tech stuff – people I want to be connected to, but who I haven’t socialised with. Twitter is for anyone – my status is public and that’s fine, it’s good for fast interactions, but I haven’t really found a way of getting much depth out of it yet.

Facebook is for friends and family, and of course people move from the “colleagues” group to the “friends” over time, so I have instigated a 2 drink rule:-) If we’ve shared a couple of drinks, I’ll join you on Facebook. If we’ve not yet done that, then I’m happy to connect on Linkedin or Twitter.

I don’t use a tool for multiple posting, as the audiences are different – I also don’t do the “new blog post” updates automatically because I think it’s good practice to ensure you have some descriptive text when posting a link to twitter and I like to craft that myself. Maybe I’m being a bit of a control freak about that, but I’m not going to click on a shortened link without a decent indication of where it points, so I wouldn’t expect my readers to either.

Cheers,

Just toning up my voice-of-an-angel ready for the Rock Band gig.

Julia, you are so right! – but we’re moving to the cloud and everything will be taken care of – until the pendulum swings back and we’re looking after everything in house again
