This is something for work, but even so, I like the premise. We're using our own site as a first model, and then extending out the practices we learn from the experiment. - Chris Brogan

Very good idea. Now great social minds can come together in one place to talk about the pro and cons of social media and how to implement them most efficently - Richard Kannegieser via twhirl

I love that it's such a learning opportunity - As a developer with a Business Education background, it's important to blend the two schools of thought! - Dana Coffey

Okay I see your point. It doesn't have to fly. A regular old fcuk will do. :-) - Dave Winer

I have to give one, it's the only social network that my friends belong to!!! - Chris Rivait

You do care, otherwise you would not say that - Gabriel

@chris, I have a lot of friends who are only on FB as well. But admitting something has functionality is not necessarily the same as _caring_ about it... if Facebook ceased to exist, said friends would find accounts on some other social network. Ergo, I really don't care much about Facebook... :-) - Phil Crissman

Some of my friends are only on Facebook too. - Morton Fox

Every time they make headlines I kind of glance at those headlines cringingly from the corner of my eye -- I don't care, and I don't want to care, but I do worry that they might get up to something that will require me to care. - Tegan Dowling

facebook's strength is in connecting you to people you know, whereas friendfeed/twitter connect you to people you dont know. - Aziz Poonawalla

Never even been to the site. Just do not care. - Evangeline

no, facebook and myspace are both going downhill. Making it have too much, or atleast trying to. - Squid

I still really enjoy Facebook, not really over made up with the changes but I think they are foundations for something bigger! - Joe Dawson

Facebook is for all the people in theory you know to act like dicks and brag about their shit and here is for meeting cool people who if are dicks you hide - Cecil Sandus

There are braggers everywhere in all walks of life, every friend I have there is close or someone I respect! Well close as in they were a part of my life! - Joe Dawson

No, even though I got an account s while back, I feel the same way as well... - Queco Jones

no you're not alone. - Jason Kaneshiro

I have way more 'friends' on Facebook than any other network, but I spend less time there, and engage in fewer meaningful interactions, by an order of magnitude. So, yeah, pencil me in for a failure to give a fcuk. - Derrick Burns

We're the wrong age group. Seems like the teenagers and even some of my young software engineers use it more (and in place of) email. I certainly don't understand it, but it seems true. - Bill Rice via twhirl

I won't lose face - William Meloney

All of my friends use it as well (it's that age group that Bill is talking about) and it's pretty much impossible to escape. The weird thing is, teens/young-adults are quick to use tools like Facebook and Myspace but rarely branch off of those large networks and venture into things like Twitter, Friendfeed, and the cooler, smaller apps. - Brandon Titus

Nope. It's been blah since it was opened up to everyone and all those crappy applications starting appearing. Who cares who I virtually poke, super-hug, moon, or <insert verb here>? Total ridiculousness... I use it a bit for messaging friends who aren't on Twitter or FriendFeed. - James Williams

Nope. It's useless. - Sam Lawrence via twhirl

I've visited Facebook twice this year, mostly to accept all my queued up friend requests. I'm finding that FriendFeed has really let me focus back on the true distributed nature of social apps, so I'm commenting more on blogs, tweeting, blogging myself, etc. - Patrick Lightbody

No Dave. The marketing is in full effect. I'm not a fan on the new UI and I think they are overvalued. I do however, think they are loaded with talented people. - Ryan

No one seems to use the social features much, except for the wall. The sharing stuff seems to be one-to-one, it's never a conversation :-/ - Rudolf Olah

against the tide facebook is a solid platform for storing lots of user generated content ... personal preference versus using several specialized services (youtube, flickr, etc.) - facebook is akin to a content management dashboard -especially if all the 3rd party apps are ignored. that said it is not particularly text/blog-centric ... - Scott Moskowitz

add another one to the don't care for it list. i don't have anything against it other than my slight dislike of facebook "fanboys" and zuckerberg worshippers, but i don't see it benefiting me in any way - Cee Bee

Wow, I guess I didn't realize how anti-facebook a lot of the community is... Facebook was introduced my freshman year of college, so it played a big part of my undergrad experience. It's been great to keep in touch with friends since graduation. As for the conversational piece, I think the "problem" is that most of the userbase are average users. not techno-centric. if you took the whole facebook community and stuck them on ff, the conversations wouldn't happen here either. The paradigm isn't there yet imo. - Frankie Warren

I don't anymore. - Parth Awasthi

no ... too bad the tech press cannot think the same way ... - Gregory Lent

Nope. Never used it, never will. - Asteris Masouras

No flying fcuks here either, Dave - TDavid

Never created an account with FB, probably never will. Did get notice from a professional contact that he'd tried to find me there but it still did not incent me to sign up. I created a MySpace account ages ago as it was the only place some of my personal contacts were, but unless I get notification one of them has sent me a message I never log in. - Sally Robinson

None at all? http://bit.ly/1raWrD - Michael

No. I was on MySpace for a week, didn't get it, left. - K Welch

The Vital Importance of Your Network

This is a critical topic! Networks are valuable and increasingly observable to business partners, competitors, (potential) employers, and even customers. Managing your network will be a part of your You, Inc. valuation--invest in it. Another great topic/post Chris! - Bill Rice via twhirl

Great article! I use LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and now FriendFeed. These networks have allowed me to meet new folks, stay in touch with old friends and get great info on the social media/marketing area I enjoy. Twitter is also where I learned about the 'twebinar' you did yesterday. Great info and great networking using the hashtags in Twitter! After recently leaving my job, I have been actively working my network to figure out what I want to do with next steps. While I haven't moved on to my next adventure yet, I am continually amazed and the helpfulness of everyone - old friends and new ones from various social networks. Big thanks to my netowrk! - Jill Howard Allen

Jill mentions a subtle point that I see all the time--"After recently leaving my job, I have been actively working my network..." I see this all of the time, especially on LinkedIN, people come alive and begin working their network when they are starting to look for a new job or get separated from a job. It is so important to invest in you network (with value to it) so much earlier. The dividends will be much higher! - Bill Rice via twhirl

I agree with Bill. The best time to engage your network is when you have something to give to it, not when you need to get something from it. Paying it forward is the best way to ensure success from your network in the future. - Morgan

Bill, maybe a better way to put it I have been able to spend more quality time with my network. How about that?! I've been active in Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for some time, but I've had some additional time to learn more about networks like FriendFeed and spend a little more time commenting. :) - Jill Howard Allen

Right on Jill/Bill. LinkedIn and Twitter have really been a BIG help. Now with Twinkle to augment my more LOCAL want/need to meet new early adopters here in my own back yard... I finally feel in a position to leverage that network one of these days when I need to most. Instead of having to try and build a network under duress and sub-optimal conditions. And, of course, I'm available as a resource to many more people (which has been a lot of fun). - Gerald Buckley

Jill, Sorry I wasn't implying you were one of those people investing in their network too late. I just thought you made an excellent subtle reference to a mistake (if you haven't been following Chris' suggestions before) I have seen. I can't tell me how many times when someone starts looking or they are let go that I will get barraged with old, suddenly good enough to be accepted LinkedIN invitations, requests for new connections, or LinkedIN messages all from people that wouldn't or haven't returned phone calls or emails in the past. My business supports the mortgage industry. So, as you can imagine I am seeing a flurry of people that a suddenly scrouging up that old LinkedIN password email and signing up for Twitter :) - Bill Rice via twhirl

What a killer conversation here. I'm glad that I've dived back into FriendFeed. Clearly some thoughtful conversations here, and I'm excited about that. - Chris Brogan

Thanks for the valuable information! - SRivera

Respect for a wife (spouse) is a sign of true character and sanity. Thanks for sharing from your heart Chris. - Steve

It's funny that I should see this post today--I spent a lot of time this morning/afternoon connecting with people in my networks through blogs, Twitter, email, chat, face-to-face--it's been one of those days that took the reins in its own hands & led me away from my schedule. :-) Just a couple months ago I would have felt really nervous at this point, because I "spent the whole day chatting & didn't get anything done." But...wow. I have done *tons*. (Now the dog wants to network, so I'm off to play fetch!) - Christine Taylor
