Over the fast few months, when hanging out with like-minded social mediaheads, I’ve noticed a phenomenon unfolding.
Say we go out to eat, or grab a drink. For the first 5 mins, a silence descends the group, as everyone is actively checking in on Foursquare, or Tweeting something funny they heard, or uploading a photo to Foodspotting.
I’d like to call this phenomenon: Social Media “Settling”…SMS, if you will.
Of course, “SMS” is even more noticeable when you are NOT with like-minded social mediaheads — when you’re with regular civilians. Then, that social media silence…turns awkward very fast!
Dear Civilians — don’t take it personal. We just love stroking our gadgets and our geekiness. It’s not that we’d rather play with our “online” friends more than enjoy your company. We just like to GEEK OUT! :)

This is totally me but I try to be more aware of it especially with those people who are still using a Motorola Razr (ha!)….
