Have a Facebook Fan Page?

[shootingstar]

Well, whenever I get around to it, ie. creating for personal reasons for an FB pg.

Actually was thinking about it for dearie's company but already he is overwhelmed by listserve /group email messages for biz and advocacy work. He gets a whole barrage coming in daily.

So whatever social media tool I start up, he has to have time/energy to pick up the slack later on.

The thought of getting onto Twitter for professional reasons makes me wince from being overwhelmed --at this time. Already there are a ton of niche listservs, of which I belong to a few select ones. I know colleagues (librarians) Twitter madly away during major conferences, commenting on speakers, etc. But a 140 (or whatever) character tweet limit doesn't sound like saying too much meaningful without executing yet another weblink click. I'm just happy to read the full conference paper/view slide presentation afterwards. At this time, I focus on quality journal and blog sites by organizations/people with a strong international/diverse following and full fledged articles.

FB does sound like fun..but my friends and I communicate...every few weeks or even less frequent, by email.

I'm not convinced I really feel like reaching out to people from so long ago that I've lost touch and haven't made effort in the past, to reach out.

Life is short. I want my blog post to be at least teeny bit meaningful and has abit more "permanence". My tweets will get lost in the jumble of tweetsphere.
