While this website is my online base, I maintain outposts on three other social media sites: LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. I invite you to connect with me on any or all of these sites to share the online experience.
The better LinkedIn gets, the more I get out of it. Though progress has been slow, I particularly appreciate the relatively recent improvements in the site search function.
I ask and more frequently answer questions in the Answers or Groups sections. I also use LinkedIn to find and learn more about people I’m interested in connecting with. And LinkedIn serves as my online resume. My tweets and blog posts appear on my profile.
I’ve had a love-and-hate relationship with Twitter for the longest time; I think I’m finding the middle ground and considering it a great acquaintance, if not quite a friend. As much as the Twitter evangelists insist that the tool is for conversation, I have found that doing that is like conversing with someone at a cocktail party by shouting at them across a crowded room.
For me, Twitter’s greatest utility to be in permission-based broadcasting of relevant content to a group of self-selected followers. I (re)tweet or click-through links to articles or blog posts, including mine; ask or answer survey-type questions about various topics; or share/consume various updates. I have connected Twitter account to both my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts.
Until recently, my only activity on Facebook was application-enabled automatic cross-posting of entries from this site and tweets. I have now discovered the utility — and addictiveness — of Facebook  for deepening my existing relationships and adding an additional dimension to “all the links and work stuff”, as a friend put it.
I am increasingly using Facebook to keep in touch with people about non-work related stuff.
