Oh Social Technology

I have a twitter.  If you didn't know that, you can follow me @IBMTitleHere.  Shameless plug I know...  Anyway, I also have a personal twitter.  So I have two twitter accounts and I tweet different things from each one.  I'll admit that I'm awful at tweeting.  Horrible.  But I give it a try.  And sometimes other people post some amazing stuff on Twitter and I read articles and stories that I never would have found otherwise.

Facebook on the other hand... Before I just had my one and only Facebook account.  So you guessed it.  My name is on there, plus lots of personal information.  I have my visibility limited, but there's enough on there that I'm not anonymous.  I blog anonymously.  I use my first name, but I don't use my last name on here.  In theory you should not be able to figure out who I am.  My reason for this?  I talk about other people on this blog.  I talk about my first family, and I talk about my adoptive family.  So for their privacy, I'm not public about this blog.  But lots of sites now need you to log in via Facebook and I wasn't able to participate in that before.  So I finally created a new Facebook account.

I'm jumping into the whole social media thing the way I didn't before.  It should be interesting.  It's a lot of work.  I have to migrate what I did have about adoption (and heavily protected) over to my new adoption Facebook page.  And if I like up here, I still have to be careful about what I post there so that I don't accidentally out anyone.  So much stress.  But all worth it to be able to log in to these websites and comment and all that fun stuff without giving away my name.

Also, I really need to get that adoption stuff off my personal Facebook account.  I've had a few comments made in passing, and honestly?  I just don't want to deal with it.  It's not worth it.  Besides, I've been dealing with dual personalities and dual identities since I was a baby.  I'm a pro at this!  Hehe!
