Social media - is the tail wagging the dog?

Social media is such a large part of so many people's lives. It's awesome, and it sucks. It's handy, and it drives us batty. It's a connection to the world and it's a complete waste of our time. It's fun, and it makes us miserable.   So if you think you might need to stop letting social media be the boss of your time and your feelings, listen in for some tips and hints on how you might take control of social media instead of it controlling you. It's not going away, and we wouldn't really want it to, but we do need to make sure we're using it instead of it using us!   Note, because Bec & Tara are old and lame (apparently), they only really talk about Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So if you're a Snapchatter, we'd love you to share some of your tips and tricks about how to take control on other platforms too!   References:
