Valentines is a day to mute the social media notifications, pause with the Likes, and put down your smart phone before it makes you look dumb for forgetting to tell your significant others that you love them.

No doubt, social media has become a ubiquitous part of our lives.

Do you love others more than you love social media?

Some go to bed with social media. Others wake up to social media.  Moreover, during the day, many of us check our mobile devices more often than we check our email.

We love social media, and it shows.  For some, it shows a bit too much.

Thus, this is a good week of Valentines to tell someone special that you love them more than you love social media.

I love You More Than.

Here are some suggestions to jump-start your creative Valentine thinking:

I love you more than Trump loves Twitter.

I love you more than Zuck loves Rome.

I love you more than the social web loves cats and bacon.

I love you more than Mark Schaefer would love for you to be Known.

I love you more than Jeff Bezos loves weird Amazon ideas that just may work.

I love you more than the Internet loves a Rickroll.

I love you more than Chewbacca Mom loves to giggle and go.

I love you more than Gary Vee loves the all-in hustle.

I love you more than this guy loves an Apple Pen.

I love you more than all the young dudes love to flip water bottles.

I love you more than James Corden loves Carpool Karaoke.

I love you more than words or social media can say.

Have a delightful and lovely Valentine’s Day!

The Take-Away.

Social media and the Web are amazing tools for inspiration, insight, serendipity, entertainment, education, creativity, ideation, curating, sharing, connecting, networking, relationships, and communication.

However, others are more important than social media.

Yuhua and Lilyann, I love you more than I love social media.

These are my thoughts, now they are yours.
