]]> Comment on Going off the grid by Corrinne http://www.quitefrank.co.uk/?p=22#comment-18 Corrinne Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:03:34 +0000 http://www.quitefrank.co.uk/?p=22#comment-18 Have just done the same and made all the easier by 'cutting the cord' on the works accts last week that I no longer have responsibility for. I really don't want to know what people are reading or what stage they are at in their online games and that is what my feed was getting clogged up with. And that was with around only 50 friends. I was quite strict about who I would let on my friends list. It had to be people I know and like, who I would be happy seeing pictures of my kids and details of my personal life. Twitter is a different animal altogether. Conversations are open, anyone can join in, and often do and you really never know what's coming next. I've met some really amazing and interesting people via Twitter that Facebook would never have done. Some have even ended up my facebook friends. Facebook is a great way for orgs, especially councils, to engage with citizens but for me it's time to move one, spend a bit more time offline and have one less digital acct to check.
