in thread Perlmonks facebookers, untie! You have nothing to loose but your bonds!

I'm using Linked-In as a way to remember to keep in contact with people from previous groups and jobs. Every month or so, I review my connections there and send off a few e-mails to check in with people. In a way, I guess it's an address book, but the nice part is that people there keep their own contact info updated for me. If a former co-worker changes jobs and home city, they update their info and I can easily contact them.

    I'm a big fan of LinkedIn, as I got my current job through networking that I did on LinkedIn. I'm on Facebook, but mostly for the "social" aspect, although I'm rarely logged on. Mostly, I'm on these social networking sites to help people find me.
