Blogs remain the best social networking tool
Posted By katie allison granju
I agree wholeheartedly with Bill Hobbs on this:
Not a week goes by that I don’t get invited to join some new social network - most of which I’ve never heard of. I decline pretty much all of them. There are simply too many of them and not enough hours in the day to maintain one’s page on that many social networks. You’ll find me on LinkedIn and Facebook, and that’s about it.
What I’d like to see created would be a single “meta-social networking platform” from which one could manage all of one’s disparate social network accounts. Oh, and a social network that, as it grows and enriches its creators, also enriches its members.
Mark Zuckerberg, The 23-year-old who created Facebook is worth $1.5 billion. Why don’t the members of Facebook - whose presence on his platform is the sole reason for his wealth - get to share in it? Seems to me a social network that was also a $ocial network would do pretty well.
I do participate in BlogHer’s shared advertising plan on my personal blog, which does spread the $$$ among all the bloggers who generate the ad traffic, but I agree with Hobbs that a social networking tool that worked in a similar way would certainly be a big hit.
