If Social Media Isn’t Fun Then Don’t Use It

Posted by John Saddington on Dec 2, 2009

I freaking love this video (embedded). Although it may, perhaps, offend a few who are a little bit more “stuffy” in their wedding ceremony approach, it’s funny and very fun.

I’d like to think that we can all take ourselves a little less seriously when it comes to the use of web technology and social media. I’ve told this to countless people before and I’ll say it again: If you’re not actually having fun using the darn stuff then don’t use it!

I think this especially applies (and is especially important) in business and it’s use for organizations. Using social media shouldn’t be a “drag,” although surely it can be hard work at times. But, in the end, it should be fun.

Live a little.

    A pastor friend of mine officiates a good amount of weddings. He always attempts to clear it with the bride & groom if he can tweet during the ceremony.

    Many are appalled.

    Some say yes and think it's a hilarious idea.

    He loves it.

    I'll ask him about that & to get in contact with you. I think it's been a bit, but surely he'll have some stories.

    Love it. I pulled out my iPhone during my wedding ceremony and read my vows from it. Nobody was expecting it. My wife thought I got a phone call and was going to answer it.
