Hi Paul,Long time no blog I hope you and your new studio are gniettg along famously!I've read through your 8 points of disdain and by gosh you've elongated my personal list on the matter by at least 3 entries.I bitch about this kind of thing quite often especially when I take the time to personalize a standard linkedin connection request (ie. I'm looking to open up the door to future collaborations..etc etc) only to be met with a robotron click accept response.Always one to test validity, I've followed up the acceptance of the recipient with a formal email approach encompassing a cv, demo,and personalized cover letter. VERY RARELY, are my professionalqueries responded to. I wonder then, what is the purpose of LinkedIn and similiar sites? I have very little to do with Facebook as this kind of social networking has more to do with collecting wood for the pig pen (Ala Farmville or some other bovine adventure)than developing any professional repore.In all fairness, I have made some great professional connections through LinkedIn but overall it seems that by sheer numbers the original purpose gets shrouded.All the best,Stone

IanJune 5, 2011Mr Strikwerda.. Are you speaking from your exineprece of social websites? Do you really get all that sort of crap on your social website? Personally, I have fun with my FB, full of nice folk with witty banter and great recommendations for music stc. I get to chat with my family and friends from afar (when I'm abroad etc) and occasionally get to make a new friend or two. If someone unpleasant creeps in', I just tell them to ***k off and block them! Easy. I guess you know there are controls' that can be used to personalise' your site and limit who gets on there!!I use other sites, like linkedin', but don't really expect much from them and only check them out occasionally. But I guess you know all this! You could just wake up and say I'm going to have a really nice day , instead of deciding on being grumpy! I think you're are a bit presumptive in assuming that evrybody is about to enjoy what we were about to read.. I didn't, it seemed like a complete waste of time to me. Ah well, it takes all sorts, I suppose.
