How "Social" Are You?

I use Facebook

I Tweet {rarely}

I blog {duh}

If you're here then you either know me or you're just browsing

simply because BlogHopping is addicting.

Either way you are a part of a social media network. 

Let me ask you this?

How important are those social networks to you?

I just had a conversation with family this week about this exact thing.

They can not understand how I can meet people through blogging.

Then go as far as to accept advice and comments from people that I "don't know".

There are bad things that you have to be cautious of.

I am not immune to that, I know.

BUT I do enjoy the relationships that I see and create while blogging.

I do feel that there is a sense of family in this "social" world.

Does that replace my "real" social world?

No.

I know how important "real" relationships and friendships are.

One such person is Erin Cobb

She is an awesome blogger {unlike me}.

Today she posted THIS in which she talks about this exact thing.

She shares the extraordinary friendships she has created through this social medium

and the inspiration that she gets from them.

They are "real" women.

Just like me.  

How "social" are you?

Am I the only one with family that doesn't understand?

I bet not.
