My mini-Social Networking Boomlet
Over the past two weeks, I've received a flood of Facebook, LinkedIn, and even Spock bits/invites...
I'm still sorting through them all and trying to figure out what I use for "work" and what I use for "social" networking.
I'm not going to hesitate to LinkedIn (Link in?) with anyone I worked with during the Clone Wars, er, the DIGEX days. [Key phrase: "worked with"].
I'm not connecting with any random recruiter who is shotgun mailing me out of the blue. Some people are equating quantity with quality. Forget that.
Unfortunately (ARE YOU SOCIAL NETWORKING PEOPLE LISTENING), I don't have a way to label people to my internal/personal preferences between true friends, former colleagues, and current business relationships. Until the tools get better, I'm putting a group of people "on hold" because I don't think the current crop of business relationships wants to network/link in with my buds from the Clone Wars...but I want to be able to look at my friends from the Clone Wars and business relationships with one tool.
*sigh* I suppose I could create two different personas/profiles...
