Social Media, Anyone?

I’ve never been a big fan of social media. I’ve had a Facebook page for a few years, but I post just a few times a year. I experimented early with Twitter, but don’t use it other than for work. But . . . yesterday I was procrastinating and avoiding a writing project so I decided to go to Twitter and Facebook and finally set up accounts for Jazz Collector. I can’t promise how often I will tweet or post, but I am now there for you to find and befriend. The Twitter handle is aljazzcollector and the Facebook page is Jazz Collector and if I attract some friends I will put up some links to interesting auctions I see on eBay and other items of interest related to the world of jazz and Jazz Collector. Speaking of which . . . did you know that April is Jazz Appreciation Month? We even have a logo on our site from the Jazz Journalists Association to prove it. You can click the link to find out more information about what you can do to appreciate jazz. As for me, I think I’ll put on a record. Or two. Or perhaps a few hundred.

  • I’ll stick to the website, Al. I have no Facebook page and interacting here at Jazzcollector is enough for me. 😉

  • I will follow you on twitter, but I have your site added to my toolbar,so I check everyday for new posts anyway. Personally I like Google+ the best as far as Social Media goes.

  • i just like that you used the word ‘procrastinating’…
    i always liked the title of the Lee Morgan album, but , as a foreigner, didn’t knew what the meaning of the word was.. now you used it i looked it up…haha..

    : In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.” … I LIKE, .. i’ll do it all the time.., my hero could be a combination of lee morgan and Oblomov!! 🙂

  • I’m with Mattyman on this one!

  • DG Mono (Richard Connerton)

    How about a link brother!

  • I’m with Mattyman too.

  • Richard — sure — post the info and I’ll link

  • With Mattyman.

  • I’ll leave Tweeting and poking on Facebook to my blood sucking off spring, 😉 I do find the whole business of social media a little like JB said “Talkin’ Loud and Sayin’ Nothing”…well maybe not Nothing but not a lot!

    That said it’s important to move with the times, so good effort Al.

    But this site is ample for me.

  • Site is ample for me too, but here’s a link to Facebook anyway. Still not posting anything there, so no one is missing anything.

    You guys are all dating yourselves! I feel like a guppy around all this “Facebook is for kids” talk 😉
