The Social Media Overload
Social Media is all the rage. It is an industry that didn't exist ten years ago, now it seems like every company has a person (or department) dedicated to social media.
Individuals and small businesses are into the whole social media thing too. The big three right now are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. If you want a strong online presence, you "need" to have accounts with the big three.
But now there are a bunch of new comers out there. Google Plus, Foursquare, Pinterest, Instagram and so on. I hope I don't "need" to be on those sites too, because, quite frankly, it's hard enough to keep up with the big three! I never want to spend more time on social media than I do with my sites, but if they keep adding new ones that I "need" to be on, that's what will happen!
A few years ago, MySpace was all the rage. I never really got into MySpace-thank God! Imagine all the work people put in to those sites. A whole industry sprung up around it with people selling skins and templates and what not. Where are they now? Probably designing Facebook skins.
Facebook recently announced its IPO; Zuckerberg will finally get his billions, but what of Facebook, or any of these other social media entities? Will they continue to be relevent or will they go the way of MySpace?
Time will tell. I just hope there aren't any more social media platforms I "need" to be on!
Facebook App Goofs on Co-Workers
It seems like there's a Facebook Application for EVERYTHING these days. I use Facebook to keep in touch with far away relatives and to keep an eye on my high schooler's online "friends." I can buy people a beer, throw a sheep at them, and a whole host of other silliness. These are Facebook applications, but they're pretty useless for anything other than a laugh.
Now the big recruiting site for Secretary Jobs has launched a new application called Office ASBO. It lets you send a friend or co-worker a "warning" about their anti-social office behavior.
It's designed to be fun. You can warn people who get too drunk at the office Christmas Party in a friendly and silly way with the "Beer Goggles" ASBO. There are currently 6 different "Holiday" warnings for the season and they plan on adding more "warning badges" in early 2008 so there will soon be a warning for just about every instance of anti-social office behavior. There's a ranking system set up and your rank goes higher as you warn more people. I wonder if your rank goes down if you receive too many warnings. Whatever the case, I suppose this beats reporting them to Human Resources!
The folks who want to recruit people for Secretary Jobs probably made this application to drive traffic to their website and that's OK. It sounds like a fun way to goof on your co-workers. I just hope the new application doesn't lead to a nasty lawsuit!
I can imagine someone who gets too many of these warnings getting miffed and making a stink about it. There's ALWAYS a party pooper in every crowd-they usually don't have a sense of humor. They're also usually litigious, so be careful of who you "warn." If you are on Facebook and you like this sort of nonsense, download the application the next time you log on to your account and give it a whirl.
