Simple advice for those of you who are interested in exploring this web world of social media.

Plunge in.

Sign up for everything that doesn’t cost you anything but time.

Use the same name on all of your accounts.

Then sometime in 2012, start cleaning up the mess you made.

I mean decide which social media platforms you are going to use and then post on the others where you can be found.

Don’t delete those “inactive accounts”.

I still have a MySpace account.  But I have a message on it telling visitors where they can really find me.

Are you ready to take the plunge?
