The Social Network(s)

So far i'm not doing too bad, I use 3 of the networks mentioned: Facebook, LinkedIn and LISNPN. Of these the only one I put any real effort into is Facebook.

Facebook
This is where I keep in touch with my friends so I have become a fan of the various professional pages on there as a way of keeping up to date the lazy way. I say lazy because I am on Facebook every day keeping up with my friends so when pages that I am a fan of updates their status I get it in my news feed, it is mixed in with my friends' updates but still I see it earlier than I would on anything else.

LinkedIn
I have just joined this today and so far do not see what all the fuss is about, I admit this is a little premature and I am hoping that with effort I may see some benefits, so here's hoping...

LISNPN
This is one which I see the most potential in, I find it easy to use, it has useful information on the site and I like the use of the forum. I joined this about a year ago and did nothing with it, purely because I'd forgotten about it until I saw it mentioned for 23 Things, now I have rectified that and will make more time for this particular network.

Mini reflection
Looking back at my attitude towards Twitter I can honestly say that the more i'm using it the more i'm liking it, I don't think it will ever be as useful for me as Facebook but I am trying with it. The best part about Facebook is that it is profersonal, I get the professional and the personal aspects of my life in one place.
