MOM's Hat

For all things "MOM"

.........................
Diary of a Mad Publisher
By Tamara Plant

Dear Diary, I Don't Give Good Face

I have always had a love/hate relationship with Facebook.

On one hand, I love that we have used it to grow our MOM Magazine community.

On the flip side, I have never liked the whole “Friend request” thing. It’s annoying. If you ignore it, you get asked why you haven’t accepted them as your friend.

If you accept them, they are privy to the information you put on your profile... pictures, who else you have on your friend list, things you are saying about other people... it’s soooo much like high school!

So, I have come up with a couple of rules about my personal Facebook profile.

The relationship rule

You will only be on my personal profile if we actually have a relationship! This means either a) you are a very good friend who I can actually be myself around or b) we are married. There is no “c.”

The one-month rule

If I do accept you as a “friend” and then realize we don’t even communicate on FB, I will delete you. This rule even applies to my hubby. I don’t use FB as a means of saying, “Oh look at me and how popular I am! I have 5,098 friends! I am super cool! I don’t see a point in keeping you there if we don’t even talk in person, let alone on FB.

This is where it gets tricky because I have run into problems when I have done this. Some people took it personally and were so offended they actually called or emailed to complain.
“Well, fine, if you’re not going to be my friend on Facebook then I’m not talking to you.” Really? You’re not going to talk to me? What are you, in kindergarten?

Seriously, dear diary, it’s not me, it’s you.

And so begins my love affair with Twitter.

It’s great! It’s quick, it’s painless, and it’s nothing personal! Sorta reminds me of my younger days at Club Malibu or Barry Ts.

Anyhoo, Twitter offers the convenience of me letting you know what MOM is up to without feeling like you’re snooping into my underwear drawer.

I can let you in on all of my witty updates that I usually save for Facebook but you don’t have to request me as a friend! If you decide to leave, no one gets hurt! It’s a win-win situation!

Another reason I have become mildly addicted to the Twit, is that I get to converse with people all over the world who I wouldn’t know, otherwise.

Plus, it allows me to start my world domination of MOM! My tentacles will slowly reach the other communities and bring forth the message of MOM!

Lord knows, there are other women out there like me!

Right?!? M
