I just noticed that
my LinkedIn Contacts went over 500+ One of the reasons
LinkedIn works so well is that it runs on Sun hardware and software. When I am asked why I don't have a Facebook page, my answers are two fold. First,
LinkedIn is really the Facebook for business people and secondly, my wife has a Facebook page. When I am asked why
I do not Twitter, my answer is that I prefer to blog and I have LinkedIn. I am
interested in big projects my friends and contacts are working on, but I am not interested in what they had for dinner (the Twitter femto-level info stream I simply do not care about).
It could be argued that I do not twitter because I am old. I do agree with my father on his analysis of twitter. When he called and said, "what is Twitter?" and
I explained it to him, his response was, "
why the HELL would I waste my time doing that?" Good question :-) I guess I prefer infrequent depth verus frequent noise....
