Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It (2016)
Am I the only person that has a healthy relationship with social media?<p>I use Twitter to follow interesting celebrities and industry professionals. (Adam Savage Mythbusters fame, pro climber Alex Honnold, several notable iOS programmers). I rarely interact with any of them, but I find out about lots of interesting things.<p>I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends around the country. I can keep my dad updated to what I&#x27;ve been doing without having to call him. (I still call him, but we can talk about the pictures and things we&#x27;ve seen over the last week or so.) I plan vacations and events with friends. Next weekend I&#x27;m going to a bachelor party in the Adirondacks with people from around the country.<p>I&#x27;ve never been worried about my employer seeing my social media profiles. If I wouldn&#x27;t do something in public, I wouldn&#x27;t post it to social media. Maybe I&#x27;m unique in being able to restrain myself.<p>I always hear stories about how people are &quot;so much happier&quot; after they quit Facebook. What is happening on your Facebook that&#x27;s making you unhappy?
