Is anyone on twitter at the Org?

Facebook has been proven to increase social capital - especially with already bonded relationship that would suffer otherwise due to geographical changes. [Eg; I'm off to college, but I can still talk to my close friends in my hometown]

Twitter...it's not for me, in fact micro-blogging seems just a bit too intrusive for my personal taste...but a lot of people enjoy it.

Hi Danny,

I must be the odd one out as i've never really felt the need to join facebook, Bebo or any of the social network sites, All the people i've ever wanted to speak to are on my mobile phone directory, I don't relish the idea that someone would be trying to find me to have a "Chat" whilst i may be busy doing something else.

Its a big brother thing if you ask me, Government Departments use it to find people that owe them money, Not for me i'm afriad

********Edit *********

not that i owe the goverment any money

Well it's not for everyone
I don't ever "clock out" so it's a good thing for me. Speaking of facebook, I've gotten in contact with a lot of old friends on it, that I never thought I'd talk with again.

myspace is old news
I know if I'm going to market something, I'll go to facebook vs myspace and twitter is getting close to passing facebook.

Don't really post to it much. Just use it to follow a few sites though. Some sites like SitePoint give you free books if you follow them. Will probably start posting there though once I get a couple projects off the ground next month. Well to Twitter and Facebook.

I agree with Loco.M about MySpace. MySpace will probably be surpassed by Facebook this year in overall popularity. The largest problem with MySpace is the lack of controls on the community. It has rampant hacking and spam throughout the entire system and makes for a bad experience to a lot of people. MySpace is also perceived as many as a breeding grounds for crime including stalking, pedophilia and hate. It has a negative connotation among many people as being a site where teens hang out and perverts try to coerce them into bed. I know a lot of people that are moving to Facebook because of this. Plus Facebook puts on a more professional face and if you manage your profile correctly, you're more likely to make business contacts and land a job. Whereas if a potential employer can find your MySpace page, you most likely just ended your job prospects with them.

oh you did make a post, when I added you I didn't see any
Here is a site I just put up that allows you to answer questions that are posted on twitter.
I still have a few things I want to add to it, but I think it's a great idea

I have this one friend that I'm trying to explain how twitter and facebook could help his career, but I guess he's just to "old school".:erm:

Added you Wayne and vBSetup.

I've got twitter and have months where I dont' use it, and weeks where I overuse it. It just depends on my free time and whatever.
