Thanks for your comments. We talked about them both in the seminar.

Playwrights are quite concerned about the internet eating up time. We actually finished by going to the site where you can download macfreedom – free software that shuts down your internet capabilities for a predetermined period of time. I thought this was a pretty funny note for a seminar on social media to end on – but at least no one can accuse me of not being dynamic.

That was a great article. I will definitely bring it up in the seminar. Interesting point about people who text all day but do not have time to tweet. Also interesting that she found Facebook didn’t work for her and that was just fine. I think, surprise, it may be about finding the right mode of engagement for each individual.

But don’t you think the facts like that you are a well known blogger, and were once an Editor of Torontoist help you in terms of profile?

I feel like you have a much greater chance of being A) Produced and B) Getting coverage – through opportunities you have created for yourself by self-publishing through social media. Maybe you have to start writing more at the Moonbeam Cafe in Kensington? They have no internet there and no one notices how long you stay.

Or maybe that’s just good advice for me.
