Come on, guys! Facebook, Twitter, and the other "social networking" sites
are simply a waste of Internet bandwidth, doing a job that does not need
doing. Social networking is nothing more than a teen-agers' replacement for
party-line telephones and a gold mine for market analysis. The whole
"social" phenomenon is a pernicious disease that should be stamped out. We
don't need to "come together"; we need to get back to work and stop wasting
time.

Mike,
I am already on Facebook and I am stingy about what private info
I will share and with whom I will share it. However, we fogies have to
realize that we should use Facebook in all possible ways. After all, they
are using us as retail data resources. We can do the same to them. There are
levels of sharing that can be utilized to our advantage. And AFAIK
currently, we can still shade search engines to display our product higher
up in the food chain. We just need to know how to do it. The person I will
ask about this is my son, John, who has worked as a web developer in the
recent past and has manipulated search engines. I will let everyone know
what he says about the latest results.
John T. :-)
