Getting into social media

Just as the blog title states, I'll post about a wide range of stuff on this blog. So, this is about social media.

I've been blogging for several years now, but I've only just recently gotten into social media. I wish I'd started eralier because it really is fantastic. It's kind of like surfing. The knack is to paddle around looking for a wave to catch. If you can get the right one at the right time, it can take you quite a way.

I'm starting to get some momentum happening on Twitter. I've also started a site on Tumblr. I'm not really sure where I'm going with it yet; just getting my head around how it all works. It seems to be very similar to Twitter except that there aren't nearly as many users, and it doesn't limit you to 140 characters. I've just got a little microblog happening bookmarking odd and interesting stories I find. It might morph into something else in time. Or maybe I'll start another Tumblr site that's more specific content-wise.

I've also just started with Gather.
