Like I said, I avoided it. I avoided all the "social" networking 
sites. Who needs to waste more time?

I am also looking at to see if has any "value" as a model or tool for 
an advanced membership app on something I'm working on.

So far, in the two weeks I've tinkered around, read a book at Borders 
on it's value, I've tracked down a few ex bosses, friends and others 
I've worked with along the way. 

On the AP side, I'm curious to see If people would join, who they are 
in their field. It may be a way for some LOCAL expertise to be called 
upon either in a job opening or other services - like your mentoring 
or tutoring. To me, it all depends on how well YOUR network is linked 
or if there is a group relative to your area of expertise or of there 
is a local group, such as "Asbury Park". Look at it as online Chamber 
of Commerce (which there is for Asbury Park, with 3 members, and no 
response from a request to join...) So the group has to managed as 
well.

Look at groups that are managed well - they hae discussions and other 
postings. So I joined real estate related, MU ALumni etc. Again, one 
big experiement. My kids don't get it "so..." 

Another exmaple, there can be more then one manger for a group - you 
can be the manager for the "asbury park" group - pst those great 
links and more.
