I resisted Twitter (and most social media including Facebook) for various reasons. There is a very real cost to this choice (especially depending on your lifestyle). For me as a huge introvert I could tolerate the cost of not having Facebook. For Twitter I'm feeling the professional cost of not having an online identity or an outlet or following to once in a while be able to announce or promote something. So I've been considering joining Twitter again after many many years. Does anyone want to comment on that? I have noticed all the time I'm hearing about people talking about deleting Facebook and Twitter and blah blah but I never ever see someone in real life who actually sticks to that. I feel like I'm the only fool who has gone through and stuck with it and has paid the price.

Can you not delegate for those functions? If the point of promoting things is to get people to pay attention to it, maybe get a few people who have influence on board.

  Not really as they are not that specific. It just seems having a large follower base gives you a bit of influence and leverage and a voice that you can use when the time comes. I have avoided having an online presence for a variety of reasons mostly revolving around the negative aspects of social media but I'm feeling like the cost is becoming too high. At the same time I hear a lot of talking about how good it is quit it and how bad it is for you and all of that but very little real action. It just seems like everyone's suggesting it to others but not doing it themselves.
