Social Networking



This topic is infinitely more interesting than Podcasts! I joined Facebook and found my nephew, Josh, and two of my friends. I feel a bit shy about following Josh although I'm sure he wouldn't mind. After all, he has 1100 friends!

I had a look at Old Friends but I don't really want to make contact with anyone from the past I'm not already keeping in touch with. Curiosity may get the better of me however, one day. I've hardly got enough time to keep up with friends in person let alone follow some vaguely familiar people online.

Had a look a the business sites. Linkedin seems like a valuable tool for finding information in specific fields of business. Checked out Online Groups. Once again a handy tool for companies with employees in various locations, local or around the world to keep staff members in touch and communicating. Signed up to Ning - wonder what the forum will be about? Having trouble logging on to LAMS so will fill in task list next time I'm at work.

I'm starting to feel like the fella in the photo so I think I'll call it a day. It's been quite involved and I attended the CCC Fire Extinguisher course yesterday so I haven't had much of a rest. Am on my way to my father's to pick up a piece of carpet and it doesn't look like the weather has cleared much. My little glimpse of the outside shows me a bare tree waving frantically in the wind. May even snow tonight.
