The Content Dilemma - Choosing Social Media Channels

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

img_0071So I’ve been in Sydney. It was a business trip and a personal trip. I like taking photos, I like writing, I like tid-bits of information. I’ve got a pile of stuff to share from the last week but it’s going to take me days as I file everything in the appropriate channel. My business friends don’t want to see photos of my Grandma, I don’t want my Grandma to see pics of me at Splendour in the Grass on the weekend but I don’t want to bore my friends with business stuff. I have more Facebook friends than people I’ve actually met, I can’t be arsed emailing people pics of scenic drives because they’re not that interesting but I want to store them somewhere publicly because I know there are others that will want to see them, but I’m not prolific enough to have a Flickr channel. 140 characters isn’t always enough and I like to keep this blog reasonably formal and focussed on the social media side of marketing. Tumblr is looking like a contender, but then I’ve got to start another new channel and I’m starting to spread myself thin and I dont want to focus my energy on something that no-one pays any real attention to.

Perhaps I’m not GenY enough to be this social. Perhaps I should get into scrap-booking.

Zac Martin, what would you do?
