Let’agree to focus on these BIG 4 - but certainly not suggesting you can’t continue using others you may be a big fan of already.
Snapchat, Pinterest, Foursquare, Path and lots of others are awesome in their own right - but for the sake of not spreading our information too thin, we have our ‘final four.’
Now onto the fun.

FINAL PIECE OF ADVICE:GIVE FAIR WARNING TO YOUR NETWORKS
Ex. “Hey, I’ll be in Nashville next week for #EIJ14. My social feeds will be chock-‐full of great stuff from the conference. Just letting you know in advance.
Unfollow me for a few days if you need to, but don’t forget to come back!”
