I started 2014 with a mission to use social networks without rules. When 2014 began, I needed to embrace chaos to find social networking order. On Facebook and LinkedIn, I wrote that I needed a pre-existing relationship to connect. Instagram , while owned by Facebook, is photography-focused. Ditto me on their photos.

Because I started looking at lists in a different light in 2014 than in the past, it’s now irrelevant to me how many I follow. For years, I was afraid of following too many because I didn’t want the people I cared about the most to get drowned by others. How many I followed in 1 month. Same story on Google+ and Facebook.

That’s the same date I blogged my social networking primer for 2014. Back on December 3, I returned to Twitter after a 6-week hiatus and began increasing people and companies who I thought I should follow. See that peak of January 6 I mentioned in the last paragraph? In retrospect, I followed too many too fast and got overwhelmed.

This sparked me to update a 2014 article I wrote for The Huffington Post into the above. For the first five years I tweeted, I didn’t use lists — which meant it was basically a 1-way outgoing conversation. It was very hard for me to engage with anyone since my feed was full of people I didn’t know. I edited the rest.
