Social Networking Tools - Week 3 Post

I agree with the comments that right now social networking as a tool is probably more popular with those under 21. If you want to be integrated with or serve that group, you could find a use for it. I'm not all together sure that group will appreciate the old folks butting in though. I also think that as people get increased experience with this kind of site, more and more "older" people will like them too. Right now most of the pages I visited seemed disjointed and too heavily graphic for my taste. Hard to tell what they were about, trying to get across, etc. I think some of that will tone down and most of us will also get used to and not be bothered by increased graphics. I also found it odd that I was uncomfortable using my real name on Facebook (I didn't) but was just fine using it on LinkedIn.
