I’ve been noodling around a bit lately in regard to which of the many Social networks I belong to that I use – and which I’ve stopped using.
Thinking it through it came down to two fundamental reasons that I might choose to participate (or not):
- Fun
- Value (business or otherwise)
Being a reformed(?) analyst who still tends to think in 2×2 matrices, I decided to map my network usage along those two axes. Here’s what I came up with – feel free to click/zoom around:
As a bonus it was a great tutorial in Prezi, a very cool tool my friend Jeff Nolan turned me on to.
In case it’s not obvious, the color coding is:
- Green – use regularly
- Yellow – use sporadically
- Red – basically stopped using
The relative size of the labels corresponds to approximately how much attention (if not time) I spend on each.
These ratings are entirely personal – this little exercise may not be of value to anyone other than myself.
But I would love to hear how this equates to others’ thoughts…
