Check Out My New Social Media Column

I am now a Social Media Examiner at Examiner.com, writing about social media trends as well as tips for marketing yourself via social media. My perspective of social media is that we should all use it, but we should all have real lives too ... And I think that's possible, believe it or not!

In fact, I loved what Heather Shoenberger, my fellow Social Media Examiner, had to say about how active social media uses often have the most active social lives:

Frequent updaters are the likeliest candidates for the "lack of social life due to an addiction to social media" -- however, if they weren't out "living" and taking pictures of that life, they wouldn't be on Facebook posting so often.

I hope you will check out my latest commentary about how to be friends with co-workers on Facebook and let me know what you think.

I plan to continue Y-rd as a hub for all things Generation Y, including finance, new media, career and lifestyle. I might slow down a bit while I get my new site up and running, but please stay tuned.
