Does social media have an expiration date?

Google+. Amazing interface. Gorgeous I would say from a design point of view. And as a tool to organize your relationships, incredible. But I'm not ready. Not there. Still telling clients to "follow me on twitter". Over liking on Facebook, but I still have a presence. I've been more active on Linkdin lately. But I just don't have time to put into creating new lines of communication today. Not today. Today I'm busy writing thank yous. By hand, not by email. To busy thinking of campaigns that will connect a non-profit to potential fundraisers. Something that will last. A year, two. Maybe longer. As a designer my goal is to create lasting impressions. Tell a story. And when I look back, good storytelling never goes away. It just comes back in 3D.
