Review: Retaggr.com
PROS: Easy to use, convenient, provides some excellent services, currently free.
CONS: Social Media Profile feature is simple and is more of a personal profile or supplimental site.
SUMMARY: A quick and easy way to track your social media involvements and make them easily accessible to people. Worth the free price, and actually worth the nominal yearly fee they may eventually charge for some services, depending on your needs.
I've been speculating lately on changes in media – what's hot, what's not, whats big, what to look for. The following is a semi-structured look at industries, and relevance to geeky careers.
Dan Schwabel's "Me 2.0" book had me thinking on Gen X versus Gen Y use of Social Media. Being a person that moves among different age groups pretty easy, I've been thinking over how people use social media differently. Though I think there's a Gen X-versus-Gen Y difference (that is more a continuum), I've begun speculating that social media is useful in careers and life – but often misused.
Blatant biased opinion and analysis follows.
