Bloggers posting too often -- commenting on everything that happens to them. 2. Bloggers ranting and raving -- taking 8 paragraphs to get across an idea or opinion that can be expressed in a sentence. 3. Inability of bloggers to let anyone else have the last word.

Although I use Twitter and Facebook I have found at work, only a small percentage of people actually use these tools to communicate. If one relies solely on these forms of communication the person will lose their ability to connect with physical humans when they leave their computer's domain. I agree with you.

As we move forward, more conversations are going to be held in these social networks and less and less on talk radio and in newspapers. Though we should not spend too much time, we are in real trouble if we miss riding this information wave. There may be a bit of an age divide here.

Keep in mind, the ongoing joke with a hot social media outlet or at least was once hot, podcasting. If you want to make money in podcasting, get out of podcasting. To me, I have not seen the value.

We may or may not get some more viewers for our YouTube videos. But that's not the place to find buyers for enterprise software. I said it was a diversion and a waste of time and money. Does that make me anti-social? Morty Bob,

Additionally, I think social media can be very helpful in giving you an opportunity to network with people outside your profession who you would not necessarily have an opportunity to meet through face-to-face networking channels. Such people can still have great value as members of your professional network. For example, I am a lawyer and entrepreneur. Through three different social networking channels - Twitter, Facebook and commenting on a blog (yes, that's a form of social networking!) - I have started a relationship (defined by having one-on-one conversations) with a well-known public relations professional. While I am not currently calling on that contact for help in achieving my professional goals, being "on the radar" of someone like that could pay off down the road. Finally, as more people work from their homes, social networking applications can fill the role of a "virtual water cooler." The bottom line is that, as long as you exercise self-control, social networking can be a useful tool. But, if you can't exercise self-control, don't blame the social networking application: work on yourself.
