Why I don't use my phone as a social media tool
Over the last year or so I’ve noticed how the I-phone and various other cell phones which offer applications that allow you to text your twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites have become increasingly popular. Many people use them to keep their social media sites updated.
I have a confession to make.
I don’t have one and I’m not really eager to get one. You might think as a social media coach that I should have one of these phones with all the fancy gadgets, which makes it the social media equivalent of the Swiss Army Knife, but the reason I don’t have one is pretty simple. I like having boundaries around everything I use or do. To me, it’s more important to have a regular cell phone, with nothing fancy, and have some clear boundaries around its use, then to have it with all the gadgets. Granted I know I could set it up so that I could only send messages on it, but even then I feel like I’m compromising on my boundaries. I want to participate in social media, but I also want some boundaries on that, some moments, where instead of interacting with a digital world, I’m focused on interacting with where I am.
Do any of you put boundaries on your social media usage, and if so what are they?

Yes. When I am logged into Facebook, I turn the instant messenger off, and I never use it on Myspace either. I want to get done with everything there as quickly as I can, and if they really need to reach me, they can send me a message - I always answer those! Oh, and we do not have a cell phone, so that problem is solved too.
