There must be alot of activity going on with LinkedIn. For some wierd coincidence I've received simultaneous requests from several totally different networks, all mobile related. I created an account sometime in May, but never bothered playing with it. Probably because I thought it would be similar to Friendster, the other popular social-networking app.

Friendster was fun, but only got my attention for about 2 or 3 months. I must admit that I didn't really use it to meet new people with similar interests except for a couple of times. Now that I look back, I used it to see how many people I could get into my network. Must be my ego trip.

I logged-in to LinkedIn, and connected myself with people that I already know. I wonder why I didn't try to meet new people? Too much of a pain ... Maybe it's because of this cold that I got right now. Not enough motivation. I really should try to explore this space to get a better understanding of both the technology and the possibilities of digitizing our social ties.

I just bumped into this interesting piece titled, Missing the Point of Social Networks. I guess I missed the point ...

Other interesting reads on Social Software / Social-Networking:
