Staying with my theme today about the “new” era of techonolgy….and the advancements…I pose the following question: How many ways are YOU connected?

Define “connected”? Well, email, voicemail, text, tweet, bbm, ichat, anyway that connects you to others, that is what I am defining as connected.

Just sitting here today I have been figuring out how many different ways I am connected.

Here goes:

Work connections:
– 4 email addresses (for the different arms of the companies I work for to separate the brands and hopefully avoid brand contamination).
– at least 5 different phone numbers for people to reach me at (only 1 extension 3209) but different phone numbers to feed into the extension.

Personal Connections:
– 2 hotmail addresses (the one on facebook is only for facebook so I don’t get hacked and viruses spread to contacts. Other one have had for years, don’t check often, used when I sign up for online updates).
– 1 rogers account
– 1 twitter account – follow me @yyztravelgal
– 1 facebook account (which has its own instant messaging, direct messaging and public posting forums).
– 2 phone numbers, home phone has v/m, cell phone does not. Moving towards a bb so PIN and bbm is sure to follow very very soon.
– 1 linkedin account – ‘linkin’ with me if we are already not linked.
– 1 blog address – which of course you are following or you wouldn’t be reading this now!

I think that probably covers all of my ‘online’ connections.

So, I guess there are no more excuses for anyone to say that they can’t reach you! And when I say you, I really mean all of us….we are all connected via some sort of social media, cell or land based phone system.

How many connections do you have?
