I seem to have overlapped my last Thing with this one somewhat, so this will be brief, it's my fault entirely for not looking ahead.
LinkedIn - Yes, I've spent some time this evening fleshing out my profile, I need to update it more regularly and indeed 'optimise' it as suggested by the resources on the cpd23 blog! I'm a member of the BIALL, CILIP and the 23 Things groups there, but have yet to find time to engage with them properly
Facebook - Yes, I have just adjusted this to personal friends and family only, I am a 'fan' of some professional groups there e.g. the HEA. Although I've currently deactivated my account as I'm having a break from it.
I've previously looked at the LISNPN and the LATnetwork and get email updates from CILIP Communities, but once again I rarely find time to make it a priority to visit these online networks because if I am hanging out there, I can't be somewhere else, and that somewhere else usually involves doing some actual work. How to make room for new ones like Google+ is a big challenge and I now wonder what happens to more traditional means of communication such as newsletters and jiscmail mailing lists? They still exist, do they still have value? What do we give up in order to be able to engage with what is new?
