Me Too!

“Me Too”
I love that show
‘OMG, me too!’
No matter what I try, I can’t shake these extra 10 lbs.
‘I know what you mean, me too!’
I have been trying to get a job forever and still nothing!
’Yeah, me too.’
The Me Too comfort blanket warms us and lets us know that we are not alone.
Nobody wants to be hanging out there by themselves.
You can find some pretty cool Me Too online networking venues for just about anything these days. And it has become extremely effortless to get caught up in the whirl of our social networking mega season.
I can only aspire to keep up.
Truly.
Being faithful to more than one site at a time can sometimes give me a headache. I am married to my husband, grandmasunderwear.com and Twitter of course but I also fool around with Facebook and MySpace on the side. Big Love computer style.
Makes me feel a bit trampish at times.
Blogging out ones feelings and firing off witty retorts can be exhausting. But I do recognize the value and allure that keeps us logging on for more. It is often why the left side of my brain has to mentally force my right hand to reluctantly turn off the computer some days. But when was communication ever this much fun and a cathartic?
We all want to communicate and hook up with others like us. But there is so much competitive activity out there that sometimes, I find that the smaller more quietly popular socializing networks can be just what the doctor ordered.
So, if you were in need of some trampy non-employment online social counseling…. might I recommend some smaller but choice orbiting social spheres? Such as BrightFuse, Layoffmoveon, Frugalvillage or ExperienceProject just to name a few.
These are some of the homey online social network getaways that have an extremely tangible profile to profile feel. It’s kind of like unconsciously breaking off into a favorite group of friends at a large gathering.
The lure is just as powerful.
The soothing comfort of Me Too’s are extra potent within more intimate groups where as the power can quickly dilutes amidst the vortex of the galactic social sites.
Recognize what your needs are and which sites will better yield those results. Don’t give up on networking online or otherwise. If you are feeling a bit outnumbered or overwhelmed at the online social networking game- try sampling some other networks for a while.
You know… it’s not you it’s me.
Keep surfing until you find a home (or several if you’re a true online professional).
Choose your venues (as you would choose your people) carefully and strategically. It will only serve you better in the long run.
We can all benefit from a little well placed keyboard therapy now and then.
