I understand that Craiglist is a major website that tens of thousands of people have successfully completed transactions on. My experience using Craig’s List has been less than effective.
On a regular basis I visit Craigslist to see what type of web development and web design projects are available. Quite regularly I respond to the advertisements. In many cases my skill set fits exactly what the client is looking for. Exactly. As of today I have yet to get one single return call or email from any job posting I have ever responded to on Craig’s List.
I waited patiently to get my invitation to Google Wave. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, my Google Wave invitation came. Like a child on Christmas Day I followed the link and got Wave up and running. “Here we go”, I thought. Time to move into the next generation of email and collaboration tools.
Social media affords all of us options, opportunities and just plain fun that we would not have in it’s absence. At least that’s how I feel about how social media impacts my life. Here are a bunch of reasons I am thankful for social media.
Are you thankful for social media? Or do you think it’s much ado about nothing? Please leave a comment and let me know what it is about social media that you are thankful for. Or, in the alternative, let me know why you are not a big fan of social media.
