Loose yourself in FaceBook Twitter beware

Twitter has always been one of my favorite apps. In the beginning, I enjoyed my twitter friends.

We would try to meet at certain times in the evening and have fun banter.

Then, more people joined my Twitter page and next thing you know, it became a networking page for my shops, and I can actually shop and do shop, off my Twitter page.

Realizing this was a fabulous tool for getting my on line shop found, I turned my attention to my FaceBook page.

Now, I can enjoy shopping right there on my FaceBook page, it's wonderful.

When I say shop, most of it is browsing, but I have made many purchases from the ones that have joined both my twitter page and Face Book pages.

It's not easy to keep up with all this, but I try.

Here's an important thing to consider when you get as deep into these pages as I have. Be selective. Don't just accept a follower because they asked...instead, look at what they post and how much. Some followers fill up your whole page, that's not good because your other followers and you too, will be left out.

Have a nice variety of followers...if someone asks to follow you that is not in the same business as you, but is interesting, you should let them follow you and you should follow or " like
" back.

I also love the way FaceBook lets me know when someone comments on my page, and with just a click I can comment back...Twitter does that too, as a mention app, but, somehow, FaceBook does it better...or, I can understand how to follow " the thread " on FaceBook better.

Seems like everything has changed..such as, instead of conversation, comments are threads...who thinks up this stuff LOL.

Now, FaceBook is evolving into a world, a galaxy itself.

Although I will always enjoy that button that allows me to post a link on Twitter with just a click , FaceBook is becoming my " water cooler " place to talk.

FaceBook and that " Like " button is truly awesome...naturally I would say that, because, I like a lot of things, always have

 

The face behind the networking RC Antiques revealed

I have been on the Internet since 1997.

In those days, I listed items on ebay that were from our collections and the estates we would buy.

I was simply, rcantiques. It was only natural to have my email under that name and so forth.

Eventually , I also used RC Linda when signing some emails etc.

I am not college educated, just the average Joe..or, should I just refer to myself as the average person since I am a lady, not a Joe.

I've come a long ways.

Not due to survival in these hard economic times, but, due to

my unquenchable thirst to surf the net.

And therefore , as the years went by, and as I became more comfortable with the net, I began to use my face as my trademark.

It was a bold move.

But, I wanted be become human, instead of a name or market or commercial.

This move has worked well for my on line shops, RC Antiques on Ruby Lane and RC Antiques Too on Ruby Plaza, because it's nice to see who one is buying from.

I also think it has helped my blog and my videos.

My most hit videos are the ones that have myself as host, instead of the ones I enjoy creating with OneTrueMedia.

Now, let's look at today's world on the net, compared to let's say, 2 years ago.

My hard work has actually created a barrier when I want to just enjoy myself on the net.

When I join a site, due to my name, RC Antiques, or Linda Caricofe, some sites either wonder why I joined, or , some think perhaps I am lurking, trying to learn things from the site...and if I am not extremely careful, and I should underline the word careful, my name can sound like spam.

Sites that are not vintage or antiques related, are fabulous if one such as myself can fit in...even FaceBook has become sensitive to net workers or business names.

Remember the old saying, " darned if I do, darned if I don't ", yep, that seems to be my predicament.

I have come up with the idea of creating different avatars using my image, to fit whatever site I want to join.

So, when you are surfing the net, and see various different images of ole RC, believe me, it's not for vanity's sake...it's ole RC trying to remind the public, this RC is just the average person, not a company.

The Internet, fascinating how something so advanced, can actually be so difficult to get around.

So, time to get downstairs and stand in front of that mean camera and take some more photos. The older one gets, the meaner the camera is , and at this point, I am about ready to name one of my mannequins, RC :-)
