I got into Social Media in early 2010-ish. I'd just returned to Portland after 2 years working in Hawai'i and was working on rebuilding my professional network. At the time all the wonks and talking heads were horny for social media. You HAD to have a Facebook page. You HAD to have LinkedIn. So I got them. And in those days Facebook was good for staying in touch with friends and relatives in other parts of the country and seeing what they were up to. It was good for finding out about things happening locally. There was the Farmville online games fad. I still keep Facebook because I have relatives that I can reach through it but the actual feed is useless garbage at this point. LinkedIn? It got increasingly garbage but that's another story. A few years ago my account got hacked and it was impossible to get in touch with anyone to recover it. I have no idea why the account was stolen because the hacker proceeded to change my name, location, and occupation. A few times I've looked for someone on Google and came up with a LinkedIn profile that I wouldn't have minded looking at, but you can't without joining and I just don't give a shit. Twitter is for kinky porn. But again, that's another story.
