Social Networking Update

I finish the year with around 2,050 Twitter followers. Well that’s pretty nice, right?

I suppose social networking is only as productive was what you put into it.

I cannot be fucked with Instagram anymore. My personal FB is deleted.

I use FB for my author page only.

Google+ is still a mystery to me.

For me, Twitter and WordPress are the two main platforms for successful self-promotion. Facebook, I think, is a little too personal. Do you want my BUY MY NEW BOOK update in the same timeline as ‘grandma’s died :-(‘ and ‘Dave’s bought a new Audi’ ?

But when scrolling through a list of impersonal Tweets, BUY MY NEW BOOK fits in much nicer.

I try, however, to mix the Tweets up. There’s nothing duller than a list of promotional links. I want to know that there’s a person writing those Tweets, not some fucking robot.

So I like to get festive …

Occasionally I get political …
