Grade 6 class of 1972 Roxboro Elementary Montreal
Which one? This blog is more a personal diary. I don't get to it very often and I use it to write more general observations.
I Twitter, but don't expect people to follow me really. Although I am getting a few more followers and reposts and sometimes what I tweet gets consolidated into some cloud newsletters, which is interesting because I don't know why or how it happens. I do have a good unique handle - Grokiam - I guess and I do have some unique things to say.
Facebook is for friends from high school and trusted similar-mined work and life colleagues. I have way more HS friends connected on FB than any others. I think that HS is a time of maximal identity-forming, and I had a great group of people I spent time with from grade 1 - 6 and then even more from grade 7 - 11- we are still a virtual community now - even after 30 years or so. See photo - we know each other very well as we all grew up to become adults together.
LinkedIn is for more professional connections and I am a member and contributor to quite a few groups on cloud, innovation, angel and VC investment, complexity science, innovation. There are some good discussions but some, but not all is self-promotion.
There are lots of other channels too. I am reading a book, Six Pixels of Separation, which is a pretty good book about connecting via various forms of social media. I just do it now as part of connecting and networking - it's part of being a connected social being.
Also, my mom and brother and sisters and son (but not husband yet!) are on Facebook, and it's a rich way to share what's up. We skype, text and post things that we want to share.
