Dealing with social media!
2 Days ago I wrote a blog about the fact that after my flying start, I'm noticing that social media has started to overwhelm me.
I'm noticing that reading blogs and blogging itself, Twitter, Facebook etc. is taking more and more time and I wonder how you feel about that? Would you say it's fun? Or do you regard it as somewhat stressfull?
What are your main activities? Mainly mindz? How much time do you spend (per day) on social media? Which strategies do you use to make sure that it remains fun and won't get out of control?
I'm very interested in your opinion!
Regards,
Youri

What’s your opinion about personalization?
It seems like we all embrace the power of our social activities online. In most cases this is not due to a decision that we make ourselves, but because we are drawn into these developments by the platforms that we use. This morning I read an article shared by Blogstylers on their Google+ profile that made me stop and think about the consequences of some social developments on the web. And I highly recommend you to do the same.

A personal definition of social media (one of the many others)
Yes I have been using Social Media before, who hasn’t? But have you ever really thought about it? And what do you do? Not everybody realizes that Social Media is a very broad concept and goes beyond your regular visit to Facebook, Twitter and the like.
There are many definitions for Social Media, Heidi Cohen mentions 30 here and you will find 50 here. The first step in looking for the Entrepreneur 3.0 would be to define for myself what I regard as Social Media. Right now I would describe it as: “Whatever platform that allows users to generate their own content”, or more...

Picking your battles: A social media fairytale
In the early days, it was easy for Entrepreneur to visit all the bars in town. He would have a beer and spare some time with you to talk about you or some interests you had in common. You’d ask what he was up to and might have been interested in what he was offering to the market. However, the city has been growing and instead of being able to have a beer in every bar, he is struggling to even show his face in most establishments. Every evening he would run in and shout: “We have just received our new product, it’s awesome!”, or: “Would you use our new solar...
