Thanks your post about linkedin is certainly insightful. I recently wrote a nice piece on engineer’s lack of embrace for social media ( http://www.engineeringdaily.net/2009/04/social-networking-for-engineers ). I am trying to raise awareness in the engineering community. My own opinion contrary to that of most of my peers is, social networking is not just necessary but a necessary progression from traditional modes of communication. I much the same way telephones were the better option compared to letters, then in much the same way sending emails or collaborating electronically is a better option than meeting someone in person. This we have to accept as the wave of the future and fully embrace it. Have a nice day
