Maybe companies should block access to certain sites that would get productivity going again. I think building up good, quality followers is important rather than a million spurts of a whole bunco of blanket statements on a status, I’m still very curious to see where Google plus goes.

FB just doesn’t know which way to go, Linked In, isn’t enough, and FB is too Vas, we need a special niche for us Foodies, something that doesn’t suck time either.

It’s hard enough when you have a sedentary job in the corporate field, (office job) thank god for Gym’s and home gym equipment where you have to force a good workout to stay healthy, but some people don’t understand this, and let their ass grow to epic proportions. I think my life would be turned upside down if I couldn’t do my 45 min workout.

Young people, especially, are good at promoting themselves using social networking. This can be good or bad. There is real money to be made out there for the agressive promoter — yet much of it is “flash in the pan” money. It’s fleeting fame which doesn’t last past the next U tube sensation.

My fears are this:

We don’t talk to each other anymore.

Many people get a false sense of how many “friends” they have — those “friends” on the wall are what we commonly used to call “pen pals” in the days when people actually wrote letters.

Too many people spend way too much time social networking and not enough time working. As a result (I know what I speak of here as I work as an HR trainer by day) – many organizations are losing productivity. At a time when companies need to hire workers to help the economy, how can they justify it when many who do work for them aren’t — again, there is money to be made in other ways, so people justify tweeting instead of doing thier work.

You get fat if you sit on your butt too much and social networking promotes this.

I think people will wake up. Hopefully sooner than later. I love that commerical where the young woman is sitting on fb and her parents are going to rock concerts and biking with friends. Life is worth LIVING, not tweeting. Social networking is and will be an important part of our world from now on. I think like good food, it has to be taken in moderation.

Great post. Now I have to get to my real job. Must walk the talk. ;.)

You mean Google Analytics? Yes, I do.

Do you use GA as well?

On a personal level, we really don’t use it, used it once or twice but felt it was too invasive and a time sucker, and years went by before even logging in, on a personal level, we really don’t like it either, I prefer my family or friends-quote-un-quote not be updated at every moment the status is updated, I’m a very, very private person, so this doesn’t work for me. BUT, BUT on a business, industry, networking professional-level, it’s such a necessary evil, although we’ve made wonderful connections, on a personal and business level, it just doesn’t fit.

Then it contradicts its very purpose, so very utterly frustrating.
