picking annoying or stupid people is the fault of the user and not the tool.

So true…I’ve actually had some direct messages from some people in bands and some of the popular youtubers.
If you run a business and are not on twitter/facebook that is just poor advertising on your part.

Never heard of LinkedIn, had to google it. When MySpace was actually for musicians, I liked it. LinkedIn says it’s for professionals so it sounds good to me.

No wonder you think twitter is dumb. Stop following high school girls you never talked to like you do on facebook and you quickly will stop seeing stupid tweets.

I’m a blue collar laborer, things work a bit differently on my side of the table. Word of mouth is still king around my parts and I have a pretty good name out there.

Not that I think it is lame.

I don’t need to network.
