Facebook Fatigue!
I joined the social networking scene about a year ago with beefier profiles on LinkedIn and Biznik. My Facebook pages went up just a few weeks ago and already I’m feeling a little fatigued about it all. It’s been fun connecting with friends and colleagues I haven’t seen or heard from in a while. However, I’m learning that staying current with what everyone is doing can be a full time job! And now the current “must do” activity is Twitter. I’m not there yet folks and I’m not sure I’m going to get there, at least for a while.
As with everything else, integrating all of these wonderful new tools for staying connected requires some balance and discipline. I’m working on it. So be patient out there. I have a feeling I’m not alone in my “Facebook fatigue!”

Lorraine,
Yes, I totally agree with you. I’m not certain I have to know each and every move each and evert person I know makes each and every minute! Consequently, I find I only check Facebook after drinking many glasses of wine and I have company over helping me:)Oh well, I’m sure it will run its course in due time. Look how long it actually took me to get around to reading your blog!! Nothing personal, I assure you. See you in two weeks!! Luv, Darcy
I think we’re both doing great! Looking forward to seeing you! Happy Easter.

My business coach says I spend too much time on marketing activities (networking, articles, etc) and not enough on selling activities. (Calling customers/prospects and offering services/products.)
Facebook is definitely in the ‘marketing’ category so if I can fit it into that time bucket, it gets some time. I am working on the discipline not to spend time there if the marketing bucket is full for the week already.
Great that you have a business coach and that you listen to her/him. I you raise a great point about the difference between sales vs. marketing activities.
