Isn’t technology wonderful?
- You can automate your Tweets and Facebook updates, so they send your friends messages whenever certain people publish new blog posts.
- You can use SEO software, which alters the way your blog posts are written, so they are more Google friendly.
- You can Photo-shop your profile photos, so you look 20 years younger and 20 pounds lighter.
- You can buy Facebook ‘likes’ and social networking followers, so people think you have more influence than you really have.
In fact, you can do all those things and more, but how much of the real you is left, for people to connect with?

They have made themselves invisible, thanks to automation and airbrushes.
