Re: OT: Social Networking
May be completely unrelated to the IT side of this thread, but I just can't bring myself to have a FB / Twitter / MySpace / whatever account because I don't think I'd have the time to bother with it. I see people updating their FB accounts when they are finished on the toilet or they have dropped their wife off at the shops. I can't see why I would need to know that / let others know that. Seems kinda pointless, and I'd much rather be drinking a cold lager or reading a book than updating FaceBook with a picture of my cat throwing up and the vital news that I have just stubbed my toe on the kitchen door. However I do use LinkedIn, that seems good for keeping in contact with old work colleagues and generally sniffing for new openings. 2009/3/17 Andy Shook andy.sh...@peak10.com Dude, I am a networking machine but then again, I’m not the quintessential IT Geek.

Re: OT: Social Networking
Kinda what I meant when I said I didn't relate. This may sound crazy but I associate these particular items of leisure; chat, IM, and now FB-mySpace-TW, with the following analogy: Me standing in a hallway with doors on both sides of me. On each door is the name of each tool including a sub-name for the particual subject. So I walk to one door and see Twitter: CNN, another MySpce: Christy Canyon, and another, etc etc. As I get closer to each door the sounds eminating from within seem festive and inviting. Yet I continue down the hall until I come to the remaining rooms. These rooms are quiet, inviting, and more to my liking. I open the door and all I see are a buncha geeks huddled in circles complaining about the noise coming from the other rooms. HA!!! I know no one here is complaining I just couldn't resist adding that last line. :- On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 9:08 AM, James Rankin kz2...@googlemail.com wrote: May be completely unrelated to the IT side of this thread, but I just can't bring myself to have a FB / Twitter / MySpace / whatever account because I don't think I'd have the time to bother with it.

Re: OT: Social Networking
I know that ME2, it was just a good reason to post that article ;). Very interesting article in my opinion, one that I have bookmarked for future reference. While social networking sites are not blocked here where I work, they are categorized as a time waster even though our organization has several high level execs that have profiles several groups setup. How much of a time waster is it really? I have a very large number of FB friends that are from these Sunbelt lists, probably at least 50%. I think that it extends the cooperativeness of this group and camaraderie that we have, and I think that is a very valuable thing. It has taken someone from being an email address name on a discussion list, to having a face and a personality. Take Don Ely, he's a goofy looking mug (just kidding) to someone with a real life and a couple of good looking kidsmakes him seem human ;) Ok, I've rambled on enough. What do ya'll think?

Re: OT: Social Networking
It is a good article for sure, and somewhat of the same position I am in. At my current company its an absolutely neccessity for employee candidate research. The ability to socialize and prove social network-ability is paramount in my company's business. I still block the streaming audio/video aspects of such sites though. Well, except for me and my boss of course. ;-) -- ME2 On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 1:07 PM, Sherry Abercrombie saber...@gmail.com wrote: I know that ME2, it was just a good reason to post that article ;).

I have a personal blog that I try to keep updated with fresh content yet for some odd reason I will not bring myself to create an account on sites like MySpace, FaceBook, and Twitter. 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.

Join the FB crowd Marvin, resistance is futile.
