I will admit that I am very suspicious of many social media outlets. I still dont really "get" twitter. Seems like a tool designed to tell the world you just ate a tuna sandwich. (who cares?). Facebook frankly is a great way for my business associates to learn that my wifes cousins child just pooped its diaper. (that happened.)
The net result is that I dont do much social media besides email and this blog. I do link my articles to twitter for those who want to read them. Having said that, I am learning to like and enjoy Google+. I like it for one simple reason. I can separate my worlds.
I can have one feed that is for colleagues at work, another for internet freightdawgs, another for my family, etc. FB has this capability but it appears to be more work. I do not do Facebook. However, I support Google+. Add me to the circle of your choice!!
Meantime, I will be off to Disney World with the kids and grandkids this week for American Thanksgiving. Our youngest grandson, Liam, was born a year and a half a go. At that time, I said I would look forward to taking them to see Mickey the Rat. Now the time has come because my bride decided my 50th birthday would be a good occasion to take our whole family to Disney in celebration. A few thousand dollars later (and we are not there yet!), I realized I could have had a rolex for the same escarolle.
Oh well...thats why some call me Grandpop. But you won't see that in the same Google+ circle as Freightdawg!!
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends
Eric
