Hi, my name is Krista Holloway and I am a connection addict. I spend most of my time online, reading, sharing and communicating with others. While being connected with social media is important for my profession, I think this obsession might be a problem. I actually posted a tweet that stated "my day job is interfering with my social media time."
What is happening? Before the proliferation of social media, I hadn't heard from people from college, high school--or even elementary school--now, I'm seeking these people out--looking at their photos and asking about their kids. Even though I have the NHL Center Ice cable package, I read Red Wings' game feeds over Twitter instead of watching the game on TV! Last night, I updated my Twitter status through my new Blackberry Storm at my book club. And I'm the first person to make fun of the pregnant woman who was tweeting while in labor...I don't think I'm that far off.
Is this going too far? Is it time to seek professional help? Well, I'm not a quitter, so I will continue to Twitter!

IVE TRIED TO GET IN CONNECTION WITH FOLKS FROM HIGH SCHOOL. BUT DONT WANT TO PAY THE MONEY TO FIND THEM.
ReplyDeletei think you're OK -- you're on the high end right now, but i'm thinking you'll level off (might need some meds though). ;-)
ReplyDeleteat times, don't you feel just a little overwhelmed by it all? i mean: i feel that way about literature in general. there's not enough time in the world to read all the great books out there. and now, i feel the same about online media -- there's not enough time in the day to catch up with everything i'd like to know about.
