Comments on: Four Different Uses For Four Different Networks http://davefleet.com/2008/04/four-different-uses-for-four-different-networks/ Exploring the intersection of communications, marketing and social media Wed, 23 May 2012 09:47:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adam Cohen http://davefleet.com/2008/04/four-different-uses-for-four-different-networks/comment-page-1/#comment-975 Adam Cohen Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:27:28 +0000 http://davefleet.com/2008/04/four-different-uses-for-four-different-networks/#comment-975 Hi Dave, I haven't ventured into Utterz yet, but I agree with your descriptions here of the others. LI is a great tool for capturing connections, and I try hard to keep that to people I have met or worked with. Facebook has been great for a community of friends and topical interests, and is starting a bit to overlap with the business connections in LinkedIn but on a personal level. It's refreshing to connect to a client or colleague in fb and see what they are into, family pictures, etc. Twitter has been a great learning experience for connecting/sharing ideas/learning. I have only a small handful of people that I have actually met before as connections on Twitter. I like having a blog but I'm not a blogger - it's a nice parking lot to capture things that don't belong elsewhere or fit in less than 140 characters. Thanks for the post! Hi Dave,

I love blogging, I use Myspace for music, and have a delicious account which I really need to update. As much as I love online networks, I'm the type of person who still likes to interact the old fashioned way, and would immediately try and establish an off-line relationship. I think strictly online relationships can only go so far. Great post! Staffeen Hi Dave,

I use Twitter similarly to you, though you're at a more advanced stage of your use than I am. It's a fantastic tool for learning and building relationships. It's so easy and flexible. LinkedIn is exactly as you put it. Part business card/CV and part rolodex. It's an investment for my personal use, but also to share with my connnections. Facebook has gone through the transitions. Now I primarily use it for organizing my social life. It's also useful for keeping up with people I don't see often. I don't use it so much as an aggregator yet. Hi Dave,
