I don't want to offend my friend Tony, but I have to agree with Bob. I
don't trust anything I see on Facebook, and I won't even look at
Twitter. The only reason I'm on Facebook at all is to keep in touch with
family and friends, and to promote my store a little. I don't do as much
of that as people think I should, but I simply don't have the time or
inclination to become a Facebook junkie.
Sorry, Tony.

Tony,
I read the blog, but remain unmoved. I think that embracing social media
weakens/dilutes/reduces the focus of the brand. If the purpose is to promote
Bob Wyatt or Tony Gravagno, use social media to the fullest extent you
desire. If the purpose of your web presence is to promote the brand (Nebula
Research or Ashwood Computer, Inc. (my employer)), there should be as few
web locations as possible. Whomever is doing the searching is interested in
authoritative/reliable information - finding the information on facebook,
twitter, and the like, I hope, will never ever be regarded as authoritative
or reliable (in my opinion).
If I want to know what Nebula Research can do for me, facebook and twitter
are not on by radar as possible destinations to find out. I'm not inclined
to go there even for references - I would get references from Nebula
Research, not what followers of Tony (or Nebula Research) had to say on
facebook or twitter.
I even find the technical questions being asked (and answered) on LinkedIn
as being in bad form. That isn't what LinkedIn is for.
It is a narrow view, and I realize that it may not be a popular one. I'm in
front of a computer more than 10 hours a day, and when I need information, I
need authoritative/reliable information.
And, of course, Twitter and facebook can be a huge time-vacuum - lots of
time and little reward.
All of the above is my personal opinion, and does not necessarily reflect
the opinion of my employer...
