I believe there are lines in social media, as there is with everything I suppose. We speak so frequently about people\/ businesses not being social enough but how about those people\/ businesses that are being too social, bordering on annoying and In your face\u2026and potentially the social media butterfly syndrome?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to point out the flaws in being un-social, or not social enough, in this new social society we are in\u2026but where do you draw lines and definitions of being over-social? Is someone that takes part in 5, 10, or 20 Twitter hashtag chats being \u201cover-social\u201d? Is someone that is up in your grill, and everybody else\u2019s, saying good morning, good afternoon, and good evening being \u201cover-social\u201d? How about the person that has 500 followers and has 60,000 tweets?<\/p>\n

I think being \u201cover-social\u201d is just as dangerous as being \u201cunder-social\u201d, and being able to define that and draw those lines is good for a person or business. Like with anything, there is a middle ground, and it is better to be there than either of the extremes. These lines are not set in stone, there is wiggle room but I think each one of us needs to take a look at how and what we are presenting out there in social and either up our game, or take it down a notch.<\/p>\n

Lately though, I have been more annoyed with the over-social, hyper active, in your voice social user than any other online type, which is why I am writing this. So who are you? How are you presenting yourself? We can\u2019t please everyone but it\u2019s never a bad idea to reflect on you and how you are doing things. Cheers!!<\/p>\n
