If I worked for an organization which based on JDV's suggestion required that I get on Facebook I'd push back. Until FB makes it easier to segregate identities *within* FB I wouldn't want to have professional colleagues and goofy college friends in a single network where a cross-post is easily missed by a faulty filter (e.g. me :-). @JDV: The Germans have StudiVZ.net and its more general cousin MeinVZ.net. But you probably know that already and are really going to Munich for some bee^H^H^H other important reason. - Richard Wells Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:58:06 +0100 http://www.socialsphere.com/blogs/36-johns-blog/259-nielsen.html#comment-62 I've thought of a really good comment to write filled with hilarity and insight but won't post it until I see what the prize is. - Charlie Sample Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:02:38 +0100 http://www.socialsphere.com/blogs/36-johns-blog/259-nielsen.html#comment-61 JB -- I pretty much gave up on LinkedIn a few months ago. I know that it's growing like crazy as the new "Monster" -- but I have settled into Facebook and a niche social network or two (both on ning). What are others doing? - John Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:01:18 +0100 http://www.socialsphere.com/blogs/36-johns-blog/259-nielsen.html#comment-60 Shel -- Thanks for the comment and the read. Good point on fax, I have not owed a fax in two years; prefer to scan and email and last week I canceled my MyFax account. Email is still a necessary tool for lots of our clients and I agree that I will still send a few when I'm 50 just like I have to call one of those annoying 800 numbers to authorize a credit card or make a hotel reservation. - John Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:59:05 +0100 http://www.socialsphere.com/blogs/36-johns-blog/259-nielsen.html#comment-59 Do you still get faxes? Ever fax anything to anybody? Email's role is being marginalized for sure, but it will settle into its niche, like radio did after television was introduced. You'll still be getting and sending some email a decade from now. - Shel Holtz Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:54:14 +0100 http://www.socialsphere.com/blogs/36-johns-blog/259-nielsen.html#comment-58 I totally get it. I'm a 43-year old who came late to FB and yes, FB has cut into my email volume. I like the way conversations are organized and the ease with which I can communicate with my entire network. It's fun, too, and I know a whole slew of people in the same situation as me. I use FB for personal relationships and LinkedIn for business relationships, as separation of social/family from work works for me. I'm curious to know whether others put up similar walls between the different circles they run in. - John Boynton Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:23:46 +0100
