Within 24 hours of his return from a weeklong skiing trip to Val d'Isere, I could look at 60 pictures posted by one of his friends (the number of empty bottles was truly impressive, but then again there were 5 of them :-)). The nice thing about Facebook is that it is all with his consent, as is the case with all other friends. I have used it to reconnect with people with whom I had lost contacts years ago, and in all cases these are people that I DO want to be in touch with. I do not use my last name on Facebook, so I am not particularly easy to find, which is fine. LinkedIn is also good for business-oriented stuff, and I used it a lot when I was in the rat race, both to find leads and to recruit people. Now I am a civil servant and so have much less need for this, but I still use LinkedIn when I can help someone else. Just this weekend I wrote a recommendation for an ex-colleague who is looking for a job.
