Did you just refer to Shook as regular people?

I first joined a social network (MySpace) to keep track of what my kids were doing, then my oldest dumped MySpace and joined FaceBook, I followed along, and started discovering that it was definitely more for the older group of the population. (My almost 80 year old mother-in-law has a FB account) It's interesting to see that CIO's are starting to see the advantages of social networking as opposed to it just being a time waster. It's a case of "if you can't beat 'em, then join 'em" and leverage it to your advantage.

For some reason I've convinced myself that I just don't relate, yet I find that more "self titled professionals" I know and meet use these as main communication mediums. The IT journeyman in me is split as one half sees these as time wasters from a corporate perspective, while the other half see their evolution for what they are, potential cash cows that tie into a particular consumer need. So since I'm constantly looking for ways to grow and break away from the "corporate loophole" to pursue my own ideas, I try to tap into the mindset of the individuals that create these solutions to try and shape my own. Having a little over 10 years in this field and pushing 40 I've come to the conslusion that I won't get rich working as a sys admin supporting an organization who's user base depends on the very tools that aid in increasing my administrative overhead. If anything I'm doomed to struggle while hovering around that glass ceiling, pondering, and waiting to be shoved out of some side hole. I seem to recall having discussion with some eldermen 10+ years ago when instant messaging was making it's debut about how much of a time waster it was. So here we are years later discussing an evloved form of messaging. I figure in another 5 - 10 years streaming video will evolve and I'll be somewhere having a discussion on how much of a time waster it is from the corporate perspective. ya' gotta love how evolution marches to the beat of its own drums...
