The guilt of social media..
My (relatively) recent resolution to maintain my social media consumption and production, has waned in the past couple of weeks. The usual excuses; lots to do; busy at work; busy at home…
I spent the weekend with family and friends only wasting fleeting moments checking work e-mail to make sure all was well with the world.
And it was.
Until Sunday evening.
Checking my personal e-mail, I was alarmed to find loads and loads and loads of new poor unfortunates following me on Twitter.
That’s when the guilt kicked in.
I haven’t blogged in weeks and my consumption of blogs, RSS, Twitter and Facebook has been tardy lately.
Now I feel pressure to get back on top of it.
Of course, unlike a diet, which is happy to fade into the background, social media is more aggressive in reminding you of your inertia.
So like all good addicts, I will once again clamber onto the social media bicycle and start peddling.
I guess this is Guilt 2.0.
