Comments on: A New Era http://www.mileswriter.com/2008/10/a-new-era/ Thoughts, observations and conversations on things literary and not so Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:32:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: John Ettorre http://www.mileswriter.com/2008/10/a-new-era/comment-page-1/#comment-170 John Ettorre Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:42:01 +0000 http://www.mileswriter.com/?p=240#comment-170 How about Linkedin, Miles. I just sent you an invite, in hopes you'll take a look at that tool, which is a really powerful social networking tool for business. But I should point out that I think it's often hard, bordering on impossible, to neatly segregate the purely social aspects of social networking from their business applications. Getting to know people might well begin as a purely social endeavor, but it might well eventually spill over into one's business life. And of course that's far more likely if one is an independent contractor/entrepreneur than an employee, but it still applies to everyone. How about Linkedin, Miles.

Not to say it can't be used for business, but it seems to be more of a way to reconnect with friends and family than anything else. Good luck with NBE Inc.

I'm not trying to be nosey, I'm just curious. So would you say Facebook is more for social reasons than business? My objective is to own Neve Black Entertainment's blog and website. I'm working on that. Hi Miles,
I’m sorry. I’m not trying to be nosey, I’m just curious. So would you say Facebook is more for social reasons than business?

My objective is to own Neve Black Entertainment’s blog and website. I’m working on that.

Like an unplanned pregnancy (to use a metaphor I probably shouldn't use, but oh well...). It was like "OH, all right. Sign me up." And honestly, in less than 48 hours, I've connected with lots of family from all over the world and even an old high school friend. So it definitely has its benefits. Still, I think setting up your own Web site and even blog isn't a bad idea. Honestly, Facebook was more of an accident than anything else.

I know, I know, but sticks an stones, so there. I digress... From someone whose trying to expand a business by giving considerate thought to purchasing her own blog and website, I'm curious why you're choosing Facebook? Hey Miles,
