SOCIAL MEDIA HELL!

[David Jayne]

i must admit upfront, i hate social media. i was the last person i know to get a cell phone, the last to get a smart phone, the last to sign up for facebook, twitter, linkedin...fortunately, i never did set up a myspace page.

not that those aren't great inventions, but i don't like to have my life consumed by gadgets, gizmos, and social websites.

with that said, i see the value of maximizing social media in the real estate investing business. but i'm not sure my once-a-month login to facebook will quite do the trick.

so my question is, how do you effectively utilize social media without letting it overtake your life? if i only chose to use one site, which should it be? the thought of keeping up with 4-5 media modes is totally overwhelming to me.
