you said – “One of the problems I have with the social networking is the time it takes out of one’s life.”

i don’t think the people that are active on social networks distinguish it as being separate from one’s life. it’s a different form of communication that is being integrated into our culture and society. it’s like saying, writing a letter is taking time out of one’s life, or using the telephone is taking time out of one’s life. i guess it depends on your perspective of what you think life “should” be.

i think there are many risks involved, especially if you have a personality type that fits with online culture, to get completely sucked in and lose balance and forget to engage in a healthy way in physical life. also, things are not always what they appear online. when you’re dealing with text-based communication, there are a lot of sensory inputs missing, and your imagination has to fill in the gaps of context. miscommunication happens.

as far as networking at work….. well, whether it’s in person or online, if you’re interacting with other humans, you’re “social networking.” it needs to be done with intention and purpose at work. the internal network of the workplace should be communicating so everyone understands what’s going on, and i think it’s good to also be tapped into the global network in order to stay up to date on information that affects your business/industry/sector. chatting with friends on facebook…. that’s a different story. maybe it’s fine to pop in for a short mental break…. if the window is opened all day….. probably a distraction. when i have gchat and skype open all day, i pretty much get nothing accomplished. so again, i think it’s balance, and it’s so new, that the rules of how to do it are still being formed.

good luck with your classes!

I came to http://socialmediamarketingresources.blogspot.com/ because of a business class assignment and read your article “A futurist’s view of the “next big thing” in social media. From there I ended up on another one of your articles about Twitter. I am an unemployed sixty year old. I am taking this opportunity to go back to school and learn as much as I can about computers and software programs. It has been an exciting journey for me. This quarter one of my classes is HTML. I will never be a web designer, but now I have an idea of what is going on behind the scenes. Anyway, the subject of social networking comes up in most of my classes. Unfortunately, my experience with it is to see students looking at pictures on Facebook while the instructor is lecturing. Probably a sign of my age, but I find that rude. And my exposure to Twitter is limited to thinking that if I care what some celebrity is having for lunch, I need to follow them. Guess what, I do not care! So your Twitter article made me realize that I need to keep an open mind and explore social networking more.
One of the problems I have with the social networking is the time it takes out of one’s life. Like you said, there is a lot of noise out there. I also wonder what you think about networking at your job. Is the new trend today allowing people to surf the web and log on to Facebook during work hours? Is that where we are going? And then we also complain because the company may be reading our emails, tweets or whatever. Again, probably just my age, but I think when you are at work you should be working.
Anyway, thanks for giving me more to think about. I think I will try Twitter and I just signed up for your blog announcements. That is a first for me! You know, the future for me is like a huge rollercoaster. Just get in and hold on!

Have you thought about the differences between communities and networks.

My thinking is that Facebook is better =for community (groups) and Twitter for networks – networks as more open, dynamic and fluid.
