What a surprise that was! I'm not too keen on Twitter or the social part of facebook, even though I've connected with some people from way in the past but the discussion groups are mostly interesting. Social networking is like anything else, you have to work at it.

There was recently a contest for photographers worth $50,000. The granteess however were not basing the gift on the talent of the work but rather on how many votes the person could get. Some people gathered thousands of votes immediately. I was in awe. It meant that one had to convince each of these people to 1. Register 2. recheck their email. 3. return to the site to vote Most of my acquaintances didn't want to register, couldn't figure out how to do it all and instead I got a lot of apologies from well-meaning. I'm still not sure how I would get 2,000 people to register and then vote for me but at least now I know that I need to learn this. I'm already learning a lot through linked in.

Because of this experience I am meeting creative people, networking, getting feedback and information that I did not have access to prior to this experience. In so far as jobs go, I can not answer that as I am marketing now, putting my self out there. I 'll see what happens and get back to you on that one.

I still think that it has a valuable ole to play as part of an organization and/or individuals marketing mix. If you get engaged in these sites you will soon recognize the value but you need to wade into the water to do that. By participating in reading and replying to questions you can get a sense for what people are thinking and doing that may not be apparent from other ways of doing R&D.
