Great post. As a long time lurker I connected to this a lot and it helped me understand my own social media usage a little better. As a bonus, when I’m consuming social media I can now just tell people I’m reading.

I'm honored you emerged from lurker status to leave a comment here. :) And, YES, absolutely tell people you're reading when you consuming social media. It's the truth! I think you'd really enjoy reading Heffernan's book Magic and Loss, it's a philosophical and humanities-based look at online life as a real and important part of offline life.

Love this post! I've been feeling disengaged from social media lately because of life. Fortunately I don't feel guilty or bad about it, but I do wonder how it's affecting my "brand!"
