Marianne Richmond alerts us that, of the people responding to Jeremiah’s question about media consumption diets, few of us say we use social networks on a regular basis.
“I found it interesting that of the Media Consumption posts that I have seen thus far, only Chris Saad (MySpace) and Brian Keith (Facebook) even mention those social networks as a source of communication…the only social network receiving much attention thus far has been Twitter.”
Jeremiah asked, how do you consume media?
Here is the new question: how do you keep in touch with friends and family?
Could be online social networks like facebook and myspace, or mail, or phone, or email. Or Twitter.
I am asking the same people who answered Jeremiah’s question: Jeremiah, Martin McKeay, Chris Saad, Marianne, Ian, and Zac.
Technology & Narcissim: perhaps this will help stimulate some conversation on social networks and media consumption.
1) In Person
2) Phone
3) Email … a lot … with different schedules, time zones, etc in many cases the easiest way to keep in touch
4) IM
5) Yahoo Groups
6) Snail Mail…. on rare occassions as it seems I never get the stamps on and the item in the mail
Husband does use MySpace but mostly for his music circle of friends, bands, etc.
And since I didn’t respond to the media question….. guess I should go back to that one, huh?
Thanks for your responses.
I keep in touch with friends and family by phone and visits. Very infrequently snail mail but when I send it or get it, always feel more connected than when I send or get email.
