I do get tired of people inviting me to play Farmville and other stuff on Facebook.

I have profiles on quite a few networking sites and try to keep up with them.

Rian, I’m not sure how anyone else sees it, but to me, all of these things are organic in their own way.

Hello Mitch, for the last 7 days I got lazy bookmarking in social sites but yes I do participate in all of them. But do you think this is not what they call organic traffic-king?

Thanks for your post, Rian. You actually participate in 20 sites? Wow! Are you active in all of them, or do you change them up?

I do have a list of about 20 social sites and they help in referring to my own website. As long as you won’t get banned from these sites then they are of great help.

That’s pretty correct, Dennis, though some of the more recent groups are missing that business flavor. lol

It should be pointed out that LinkedIn is BUSINESS ONLY…so many socializers “complain” that it “don’t work” because they just don’t get that fact.

Good morning, Mitch.

I understand what you’re saying about LinkedIn and I think they are right to keep the focus on a business site, but I still find it difficult to use. Maybe it’s a mental block on my part. I’ve connected with a few people there, but in general, it’s them connecting with me and me approving the request.

Every time I go to Facebook, I have a lot of requests, 10 or more, from the applications that are flourishing there. I do block them, but it takes time. (Remember, slow dial-up.) Even though I’ve blocked the major ones such as Mafia Wars, there seems to be a never-ending stream of new ones.

I remember ICQ, but never was a big user. I do remember paying $200-$300 long-distance bills per month way back then. I’m glad that’s a thing of the past.

On my two Ning communities, I have chat active on one but not the other. On the one where it is active, I bet it hasn’t been used more than a few times in the last four months. I’m considering deactivating it so the pages will load faster.

I’m happy to see how social networking is evolving, but it does take a lot of time to do it and learn new sites.

I’m finding that I’m less willing to try a new site these days. I don’t know if that means I’m getting old, tired, or that I’m just satisfied with the current crop.

Act on your dream!

JD
