As I continue my cautions on Social Networking, I must admit that there "CAN" be a value to them. It is always possible to gain some insight and valuable "insider" information about a potential job opportunity or career move from comments made; and even, perhaps, gain a valuable contact which will help you in the pursuit of promoting your product or service.....BUT, (the big "BUT"), you must realize the huge risk in "addiction" to the endless and, seemingly, pointless "chit-chat" that fills most of the airwaves of these networks. Yes, I'm talking about Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, MySpace, Bebo and the list goes on.....most any name you can think of......or you can start your own network (as many do)!!
If you aren't already one of the casualties, you MUST, first, realize the potential danger in getting caught up in a very "time-consuming" effort in comparison to the gains received in return....as it is for most individuals.
You MUST stay focused and limit your involvement to a "reasonable" or "appropriate....or affordable" time period.
Like so many things in our pursuit of "Happiness", it is the ABUSES which do us in!!
Good Luck!
