I am on Linkedin http://www.linkedin.com/in/mdemahy
I just joined Twitter. Don't know how much use I will get out of it. But willing to try. I am on Pounce. I haven't done much with it except sign-up. Mike Demahy 713-418-6707 Msoft Horizontal LR From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Husum Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 5:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [houcfug] Social networks Gretings, This came up last night during the meeting and I'm curious - Who on the list uses a social networking site? Which one(s) do you use? What do you use it for? Do you get anything out of it? I'm on a few but I'm probably not making the best use of them. I'm on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/) for business matters, Facebook for social matters among family and friends, and Pownce (http://pownce.com/) for following a lot of the ColdFusion world. The one that seems to have been used the most is Twitter (http://twitter.com/) It is sort of a micro-blogging tool. You send short messages (140 characters?) to the service, telling the world what you are doing. Then other people can 'follow' you by subscribing to your feed. You can of course follow others. At CFUNITED people were posting to Twitter like crazy. Seth apparently was taking notes during the sessions. Ken was Twittering during last night's meeting. I know a lot of projects out in the Flex and AIR world have been based on Twitter. I must admit I'm not yet seeing the value of Twitter. Is it really worthwhile or am I just being stodgy?
