As you read yesterday I’ve stopped looking at Facebook and removed the app from my phone. I removed the Twitter app this morning because it was just as annoying.<\/p>\n

What is great is Face to Face socializing.<\/h3>\n

Before Thanksgiving on the 18th was another Social Media Mastermind meetup. It was great seeing people there in person. I wish it was every saturday like it used to be. Every time I think that last thought I want to start my own Saturday morning meetup modeled after SMMOC.<\/p>\n

I remember the days back in the dark ages of dial up. I would connect to the net through Tycos BBS and then would hang out in chat rooms and we would arrange a meetup in a local dive to put faces to all the screen names.<\/p>\n

Did you hear that WeWork bought MeetUp? -> Link<\/p>\n

The title of this post came from this post at Nautilus<\/h3>\n

Facebook is the Junk Food of Socializing<\/a><\/h2>\n

Get together with a friend instead. Your brain will thank you.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Side Note:<\/p>\n

I did consider going to Facebook to see if this post got anything. I doubt it though. I didn’t write it for FB’s algorithm and also I auto published which FB filters out so people don’t see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
