make money w/ your twitter account! msg me 4 the link
eZdia is a networking site like linkedin. But unlike linkedin it allows users to update their resumes i.e skills in the knowledge bucket pool. If you develop or learn new you skills one has to simply update them in the knowledge bucket and the new skills will be added to the already existing ones.
only “social network” i use it xfire, and i guess youtube if you would consider it a social network, because it kinda is.
I have stopped using sites like twitter, each ‘droplet’ of info is recorded. these sites are all scanned. Also if you use an encrypted pc from ibm/ microsoft with its ‘cool’ print recognition system , it can track everything . if innocent and not worth monitoring it is stored or sold to consumer and advertising companies.
I have found a new p2p network called Global Herald Network that let people share information with peers all over the world. If you have a question, an opinion or something you want to promote, you can post it on the network with the free client software Herald for peers to find and read. A person only need to make 1 post to reach everyone on the network. This new p2p network is different, and its awesome.
Social Networking can have many benefits when a network is designed properly. We design many social networks that help businesses work together more efficiently.
Yes, these services has made my personal and professional life better. I use them, Twitter and Jaiku, all the time.
theres definitely a benefit of social networking imo- I like ViewMyLife a lot for their photosharing too- i dont know anyone else that lets you upload unlimited photos and media files at no cost, anyone else using it?
What do you think about the political/informative side of internetworks? Is it worth the ’social’ prefix?
Thanks
also a travesty of the use of the word ‘alchemy’
I am so glad I don’t belong to the generation using these services….We could all benefit from more time alone contemplating, reading books etc.
agreed
we tend to glamorize/romanticize the connections that happen online. at the very best they lead to meeting real people and forging real connections, but that is rare.
it’s used for ‘networking’ for our ‘careers’ or for our lives as consumers–that’s the ‘value’ as the speaker says
work/consume/work/consume/work/consume….
Really? I was afraid of that based on the heading and now refuse to watch the video. The word social networking in a new and great context is a lie because it has not been done, not in the Internet nor in the society. ForaTV, think please.
so the ‘magic’ of social networking is that it helps us be better consumers…i feel ill….
