Two years ago my shipmate Dave Bullock signed me up to Facebook. I took a look around and forgot about it until another shipmate, Matt Feath, hit me up again a few weeks ago. Now I’m hooked, and I’m finding people I haven’t crossed paths with in many, many years.
I’d long ago set up a LinkedIn profile but have begun drifting away from it. LinkedIn began to seem kind of static. I use Twitter from time to time, too. I like the immediacy it offers. I don’t do much SMS texting but I can see that it would be a great tool if I did.
Facebook, on the other hand, offers what LinkedIn and Twitter do all in one package – plus so much more. So much more, in fact, that it could easily become a Major Time Sink.
I once scoffed at the idea that Facebook could be worth $15 billion. I’m not scoffing any more.
don’t give up on Twitter… it’s absolutely the best real-time information source going.
great example: the plane crash today in NYC. Minutes after it happened, there was eye-witness reports and pictures.
Twitter just amazes me every so often, with the amount of information available in such a short amount of time.
LinkedIn is BULLSHIT … I think I’m going to delete myself of that site entirely … I never got anything out of it.
I don’t use Twitter … I want my life to SLOW DOWN.
Jeff, I’m not giving up on Twitter. I don’t find it as useful as FB right now.
