Professional Social Networking
An additional advantage is that when you do get engaged into a professional community and find yourself in the predicament of job seeking again your LinkedIn account or Twitter feed will have a professional networking appearance.

A disadvantage would to have too much personal information intermixed with your professional. Separate and treat personal and professional social networking differently.

I haven’t added much to my already huge repertoire of networks, maybe taken away a few skills though.

I already had the accounts, but I am forced to realize I should use them more often. I attended most of the WebJunction/ALA LearnRT conference, watching the twitter feed, chat and program ppt’s. It is exhausting to keep up, but interesting. I can’t imagine enjoying it more by participating more in the dialog – because then I’ll lose focus on the presentation (which is ridiculously frustrating) just to be chatty and get my name out there. If I had a question – I was prepared!
I will continue to grow my usage of social networking. Maybe one day soon I will be outspoken and need to use my voice and I will already have the avenues set up and maintained to do so.
I think social networking works for some. Just like face to face networking work for some.
Others watch from the side lines.
And others don’t care how others are getting along.
One way of networking or communicating won’t please everyone, all the time.
Social MEDIA is everywhere and those who want to connect have to join in or loose out on those opportunities.
