My (given) title: It’s All about Presence

- a long term and active social media user on several platforms

encourages me to propose an Outline:

1) ”Long term”?

2) ”Active user”?

3) ”Several platforms”?

and (hopefully) takes me to some Conclusions:

1) What is the point of using social media?

2) Really - is it all about presence?

3) Matters and effects, chance encounters…
