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've been doing without having to call him. (I still call him, but we can talk about the pictures and things we've seen over the last week or so.) I plan vacations and events with friends. Next weekend I'm going to a bachelor party in the Adirondacks with people from around the country.<p>I've never been worried about my employer seeing my social media profiles. If I wouldn't do something in public, I wouldn't post it to social media. Maybe I'm unique in being able to restrain myself.<p>I always hear stories about how people are "so much happier" after they quit Facebook. What is happening on your Facebook that's making you unhappy?
