As I said before, LinkedIn is the only network I would bother with.
Somebody misconstrued that as my suggesting that it was a source of work.
This is not the case.
It keeps you in touch with what's happening in the industry - conventions,
new ways of thinking, what's happening in the market, that sort of thing.
That's where it's value lies.
I have tried Diaspora and the concept - decentralisation, etc., is
excellent, but the stability I have found is Alpha at best.
Not really a trade orientated environment - more of the Twitter crowd with
more than a 140 character allocation.
You'll need all your time for your production and customers.
