Robert Scoble

Who said men are all business? Wanna see the videos on Qik or the photos on Flickr of my son? - Robert Scoble

That means I'm a woman?!? Then give me some chocolate with my coffee. Now! - adventureran

And where is the assumption that someone with thousands of friends is any more into "socializing" than the person with 50 friends? - Judi Sohn

hei. fake woman back in line. chocolate and coffee goes here first, basta. - Nicole Simon

lol. ok, Nicole, "real" women first. :) - adventureran

robert, yeah, we want to see them! :) - Timo Heuer

@judi yes, that is stupid. it does not take into account that people act on different levels. at the same time, somebody with 1k friends can be more socializing and happy than somebody with 50. @Ran ;) - Nicole Simon

I would tend to think there is a large distinction in this based on age. I find as I get older, I am working to establish and re-establish links with the community I have know over the years. Most of these are now mostly social rather than professional. - 2WheelTech

Stereotypes on a grand scale like this are lame. Everyone's different and unique. I've seen very social men and "all business" women as well... so this assessment is a fallacy as it's premise is completely unfounded (and doesn't match reality!) ha, there I said it - that writer needs to get out more!! - Susan Beebe

I'm a man, and I don't see how these things can be used for business. I'd have to convince all of my business contacts to join these sites first, which is more of a hassle than just dealing with them the "old fashioned" way. - Henrik W Lund via twhirl

Personally, I don't get how their numbers support their assumption. It seems like a big leap in logic, i.e. if you're a super connector, it must be for business rather than social reasons, or that women are less likely to connect for business. Who's to say a guy with more connections than Robert (is that possible?) isn't big into Battlestar Galatica fanfiction, the online art scene, or looking for love? - Amie Gillingham

not true at all, - Vijay Veerachandran via Alert Thingy

Avery sweeping stereotypical statement really - Sally Church via Alert Thingy

I wouldn't say that I was all business, I don't socialise as much as I would if I were single but I still get involved when I can! - Joe Dawson (beta) via Alert Thingy

I just polluted the heck out of my "business" feed on Plaxo with blog posts, Flickr, Digg, Google Reader shared items, etc. That should force the issue. - Louis Gray

I see an awful lot of male marketers chatting like old ladies on Twitter - Prokofy Neva

I guess you're in the rare "really large group of friends" category, eh, Robert? You may be the charter member of that group! But I'm not sure I get that article... Isn't participation in a social network by definition "socialization"? It seems that it's the relationships you have with the people in the network that would determine whether its "social" or "business", not the number of relationships... - Lindsay Donaghe

nah not true. Am always game for a bit of gizgaz as I like to call it - viki saigal
