Social Networking sites and Web 2.0 technologies

I was a kind of guy who thinks that social networking
sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Ning are sites where
teens waste time, all but not for working adults. I was
even skeptic about more straight laced LinkedIn site.

However, I became a convert. I found that LinkedIn
is not only useful as an online address book, but it is
equally useful for catching up with college, graduate
school buddies, ex-colleagues as well as source of job
tips from recruiters.

At first, I used Facebook for some big brother's acts,
I used it to learn more about my kid brother who is
in late teens, who has been pursuing BSEE in a public
university in the United States.

I learned that people like to share own information a lot.
They want to express inner feelings. Later I found out
fan groups those act as Yahoo groups which I find it
useful to find data. Now I use it for browsing technical
news, Facebook become another technical sites.

What is more in it for me? I will use those sites to poll,
survey, collect data for MBA thesis.
