I joined Facebook in November 2006, and haven’t looked back since. As a member of the Facebook generation, who went to college as Facebook first became established, I’m somewhat of a native to the social network. In addition to my personal account, I’ve maintained Groups and Pages for clients, including these current pages:
I’ve been using this social network to connect with like-minded professionals since 2008, and to keep in contact with those I’ve worked with: connect with Matthew Hurst on LinkedIn
X (fka Twitter)
I’ve been using Twitter since September 2007, and have written extensively about it on this site. I’ve been responsible for dozens of client accounts over that same time, but here’s a couple I’ve used for personal updates:
Tumblr
I’ve been using Tumblr since June 2008, and currently contribute to 11 blogs on the social media website, including:
- My photoblog is Speaking in Megapixels since 2008
- I blog about my infographics, viral videos, and about my interest in social media and design on Matt Hurst Reblogs
- I share my favorite new music one song at time on my playlist Tumblr
- The Brew Noob is my beer blog built using Tumblr
- The Downfallr collects the best clips from my favorite meme, Downfall
