On LinkedIn
John Borwick ponders about his LinkedIn presence, even when confronted by the fact that all his other social networking accounts are languishing in the web2.0 limbo.
Same here.
I have accounts on all these social places, after their Precambric explosion: LinkedIn, Orkut, Friendster, Tribe, OpenBC, Plazes, Dodgeball, Upcoming etc.
Their value soon diminishes due to the enormous amount of time required to maintain all of them, each with its own group of people. Either they coast around on automatic, or you just gently disappear beneath the cloud of users.
Another unforeseen problem here is the unintended dynamic of the network – Reddit requires you to comment, MonkeyFilter has a few established regulars, Orkut became primarily Brazilian, and LinkedIn is a general job posting board.
We need a service to take care, automatically, of your presence in all of those socnet sites.
