Criticisms of Social MediaTakes a lot of time!Current lack of good filters creates problems finding the best content.Writers have problems delivering content consistently.Anonymity can engender polarization and hate.Information overload and social networking overload.Lose control of message is not only from the top down – can also be a positive thing!As society and technology moves forward we stand at a watershed moment and history, so it is vitally necessary to stop and think about our societal trajectory. Thoughts? Did I miss an advantage or disadvantage?
Use different names for work and home (perhaps use your nickname for home use)Combined accounts mix work and after-work – may find new connections with co-workers and friends (use the example of Ryan Schmessing, national 4-h looking for autism researchers)Fan page advantages: no automatic connection to your personal site, multiple admins, updates automatically fed to your “fans”Groups: connected to your personal FB page, can be private. No auto updates, tho
