Social Networking 101

My friend and PR events guru Peter Shankman braved the smoke, if not the flames, last week to speak to the Orange County, California, IABC about social networking. You can read his thoughts here.

I agree with a lot of what he says about networking, though I disagree with him about LinkedIn, which I've found an easy-to-use and very useful way to reconnect/stay connected with old friends and colleagues. While I'm on Facebook as well, I think there are too many distractions provided in the Facebook environment - his comment about it not being OK to bite somebody using their vampire widget is a good example...  ;-)  But, as always, I commend his comments to you as very much worth your while reading.
