Title:

How to Fall in Love With Your Social Network Again

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Nathan Wright, Lava Row, Inc.
Description:
We truly have love/hate relationships with our social networks. We complain when spam activity increases on Twitter, even though it's an opt-in/opt-out/block culture. We moan about our friend streams getting out of control, but we don't set ground rules for who we follow in the first place. Facebook offers some of the most robust privacy features, yet most users don't even know they exist or how to implement them. This panel will help you fall in love with your social network again.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is "social networking fatigue?"
  2. Why don't I love Twitter like the day I did when I only followed 100 people?
  3. Can I un-follow a large number of tweeps and not offend them?
  4. What criteria should I set for unfollowing lots of people on social networks?
  5. What criteria should I set in the first place before adding new friends on social networks?
  6. Why am I even stressed out about my social networking experience?
  7. How do I balance my personal/professional life on social networks?
  8. Would I be better off just deleting all my accounts online?
  9. What Facebook privacy features can I take advantage of to segment what my friends see?
  10. Should I censor myself online? (political/religious views)
