Linkedin

Great, my friend invited me and now I am sucked in. This is worse than World of Warcraft!


I have to build connections? Screw that this is too much work!



I miss the good 'ol days with dial up, AOL, and Doom.

I got pulled in by a professor (actually, the department head). I joined, but I'm not really proactive about finding contacts. I've let people find me thus far.

I'm not too thrilled about it either. My step dad made one when it went live a couple of years ago and he also is mildly obsessed (ok just obsessed) with twitter. Yet he refuses to make a facebook. Go figure

I'm never playing World of Warcraft. Any game that costs me money more then once is not worth it.

Think of it as facebook for job networking and a resumé post without all of the facebook , "Look at my pictures from my party bro!", farmville, and the other type of stuff.

I guess i'm still feeling that the old fashioned way of meeting people and networking that way is better albeit on a much smaller scale.

I joined Facebook so that I could be bombarded with pictures, emails and useless information from my friends and all the silly apps they run...

I have not been disappointed...

The first thing I did was block every app posting to my news feed. They're very annoying. I'm quite happy I did that.

I use LinkedIn for work-related stuff. I have a face book account, but don't ever have time to even log on to it. There is so much stuff on the internet that you can easily blow your entire day fooling around with it.

Isn't that what I said?


I guess reading text you can't put the correct emphasis as when one says it.

I was speaking in agreement /verificiation that I THOUGHT is was a business network thing, beast just verified what I thought to be true.
