Just Say NOSO
|
Sometimes you just gotta go with the underdog.
And, in the game of social media, the underdog would be the folks over at NOSO. Although not for long. This anti-social social media movement is quietly becoming all the rage.
The intro video, in a HAL-ish voice over, explains NOSO as a "...real world platform for temporary disengagement from your social networking environment...".
And, though I LOVE social media and all that it offers, I must admit that the whole concept is very attractive. No agenda, no texting, no Twit'ing...just existing and navel gazing. What's not to like about that??
However, I'm one of the fortunate ones. Although I write for several blogs and have a monthly column at Entrepreneur.com, blogging and social networking activities have not taken over my life. That is due, in large part, to how I manage my schedule. I really do like writing so it would be pretty easy for me to get caught up in the rapture of needing to post pithy blog post after pithy blog post. I avoid that by dedicating one day for writing blog content and a portion of two other days to blog management and social media/networking activities (i.e. reviewing friend requests on Facebook, responding to LinkedIn requests, making sure my blog has my most recent speaking schedule, etc.)
I know that not everyone has the same work style or approach as I do. Many people don't know when enough is enough. The blog and blog and blog until they have nothing left - their content is all spent, then they suffer from burn out and die. Those types need a virtual chill pill. Permission and a means to disconnect momentarily - and NOSO offers that.
NOSO is not right for everyone. Ask your doctor if NOSO is right for you.
