I Get FacedAs far as social networks go. I long ago set up base in LinkedIn. You can find me there, and over the years I've slowly accumulated a hundred or so connections, just watiing for the day I need em. Facebook? Let the kids have their fun. I've got work to do. Last week, though, I got a Facebook offer I couldn't refuse--an important old friend whose pictures I wanted to see. So I signed up, anticipating that, like LinkedIn, my account would quietly sit there unless I worked on it. What I didn't anticipate was how efficiently Facebook would get the news of my arrival out. So between 10:20 and 12:37 today, for instance, I've had 10 people add me as Facebook friends. And since most of them actually are my friends, I anticipate that when I confirm those requests, I'll get another, bigger wave of friends. It's disconcerting - like walking into the wrong room and having everyone spin around and look at you expectantly. Consider yourself warned.
