I am a member of a couple social networks. I am a member of
Facebook and Twitter. I have had a Facebook since high school and I have been
using Twitter for about a year now. I do not really use my Facebook anymore so I
am going to talk about how I use and represent myself on Twitter. On Twitter I try
to represent myself as a normal guy who likes to play baseball, hang out, and
have a good time. I never post anything that would put myself in a bad
situation or make people think differently of me. I use the thinking that “I would
never put anything on Twitter my grandma wouldn’t want to see.” I hope people
see me as a professional. I never post anything bad about anyone else and never
have any swear words. I try to keep things cool and I never talk about myself
trying to tell people how good or bad I am. There have been a few times when people
have posted some questionable things on my Twitter. I wished they didn’t put
those kind of things and once I see them I instantly delete it because I do not
want myself represented in the manor.
Hey Simba,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are pretty aware of the image you try to present via Twitter. I created a twitter account years ago, but I haven't used it sense. Eventually I suppose I will have to actually get on there, but I haven't convinced myself of that yet. I think with all these social networking sites it is critical to be aware of what people might see and think of you. I love your deciding factor 'if you'd let your grandmother see it' I can relate because both my grandma and grandpa are active users on facebook, so I'm aware of that. I also find myself either deleting things from my wall or untagging myself in photos because I don't like what was posted on my wall. It's difficult to keep up, but I don't want to be embarrassed by what is posted on my site.
Thanks for posting - Kenzie Marie
