Not sure if I even know what I'm talking about!!

Hi, and welcome to my first blog.  I'm at uni doing the final subject of my Masters of Marketing - Social Media Marketing. We've been asked to set up a blog to show we know what we're talking about when it comes to social media... 


So, what do I know about social media? I first fell in love with myspace back when it was cool. My love was short-lived and I'm now in a long-term relationship with Facebook, logging/checking in every chance I get, at home, at work, on the train, you name it. I've had job interviews where I was found on LinkedIn, I work in the automotive industry and use YouTube to showcase our cars. I use Flickr to see my nephew grow up in Canada.  I failed miserably at micro blogging on Twitter and I'm still trying to get that invite to Google+. If you invite me, I pinky swear not to bombard you with invites to games like Farmville and horoscope updates!?


I now also know some amazing stats about social media after class last week... 

And, that's about the extent of my SMM knowledge. 


What i really want to know is whether my habits are normal? Is it normal to check Facebook 15-20 times a day? Or, have you bucked the trend and deleted your profile??  Who else has tried and failed on Twitter? (if not, should I be following you?) Have you used LinkedIn for work? And honestly, do you still use myspace if you're not a musician??


Look forward to sharing this space with you.
