hey all! welcome back to another “Just A Girl…”! thanks for hanging with me and supporting this attempt to fully grasp the technology of our world and how we use it, especially women, artists and entrepreneurs.
there’s alot of tech stuff out there and it can sometimes be hard to navigate it all. for example, someone asked me today if, as an artist, it was TRULY necessary to have a Twitter page. and I’ve been asked that same question by people that are not involved in music and are just building businesses. so, how do I answer that? well, I say yes it is. however I personally know artists that don’t have Twitter pages and considering there are over 6 billion people on the planet I would say the majority of people in general don’t have a Twitter page. so there are some factors to consider:
a. are you or your company known? or are you trying to become known?
b. who are you trying to reach? are you trying to reach customers or colleagues?
c. Twitter is a very useful tool for connecting and building with people, but it does take some effort. just setting up a page and waiting for the world to contact you is not really how it works.
and there ARE so many factors to consider and so many different approaches that it can be daunting but let’s face it, the interweb, technology, social media and networking, Kindle’s, Google, ipad, pods and macs are GOING to be around. the question is are there limits or is it all bueno?
I personally waiver between thinking technology is AWESOME! and thinking it shouldn’t be put anywhere near some people (see BP). so part of this journey is to help us all get a better understanding of our world that has become increasingly “connected” and how we’re using our powers for good or dun dun dun…(again, see BP).
so, I wanted to take some time this week and ask you all some questions and get your input and/or suggestions. do you have a fave site that you want me to explore further? how do you feel about Facebook’s privacy changes and changes and changes? are you a Kindle person? or a good old fashioned book person? are you addicted to Twitter, gotta stay up on everything? or here’s a really contentious question: are you PC or MAC? how about how much time we are all spending online? I wanna know! I want you to leave me a comment and let me know what’s your take on tech? and then next week we’ll be back with another “Just A Girl..in this digital world”! so til then, thanks for checking back, everyone have a blessed weekend (if you’re in US have safe and happy Memorial Day!) and let’s all look forward to the week ahead!
