Thing 8

Today all of the social media is causing me anxiety. I don't want to be connected all the time. I don't want to be responsible for knowing things the minute they happen. Sometimes I just want to create my own pace and not feel bombarded. So, an app like Hootsuite to manage all my social media makes me even more anxious.

I have FB, LinkedIn, and Twitter on Hootsuite. I never tweet and rarely look at Twitter. I watched the Hootsuite video for iPad, but I'm not sure my Twitter account was showing up, and I don't care enough to try to figure out if it is or isn't. I didn't try any of the other apps because my friend in-the-know uses Hootsuite. Also, I'm not feeling very social today. Hootsuite looked pretty much like my FB page. If I was into all this social media, I think Hootsuite would be swell. But, I'm not.

I hope I find more things to my liking in future Things.

Thing 7

I very much enjoyed learning more about Pinterest. I had an account but didn't have the app on my iPad. I used Pinterst on my computer so infrequently that I actually didn't know how to use it. These instructions helped and I added two new boards and a few pins. I searched for people to follow, but I didn't find a particular person I was looking for and I can't believe she is not on Pinterest. I'm not sure how often I will go to Pinterest, because though I see it is a valuable tool, I could get sucked down a time loss hole, and I don't have time to spend that way. Where do people find the time to use all these tools? I am too busy reading books in what little spare time I have.
