Everyday (sometimes twice) I like to stop and grab a cup of coffee from one of my favorite establishments during a self imposed break. I have been going there for a really long time because it's convenient and they have what I need...in theory.
Unfortunately, what has been a reliable source for my needs is turning into a place that I am distancing myself from because of horrible service. There has been 8 times in a row that I have gone in and the coffee is cold and I have to wait for them to make coffee. As I stated in my previous paragraph, the two reasons I go there are convenience and coffee. I am getting neither.
How does this scenario relate to social media? Easy.
I love social media. I spend way too much time on social media. If I could marry social media I would.
I have several sources that I consider personal favorites and follow them daily. And I have found that if I reach out, most people will offer a hand back. If one of these sources started increasingly dropping off the radar and not delivering my needs, I would have to go somewhere else. I would keep checking in every now and then, but my attention span is short and I just don't have time to coddle a relationship, be it social networking or otherwise . Eventually, I would just find a new source.
On that note, I'm grabbing my travel mug, and instead of turning right on New Garden Rd., I will be turning left and heading to another coffee place where I hope the vanilla creamer is stocked and the coffee is hot. I may have a new source.
