Net-Individuality is so refreshing. I found Livejournal to have more creative and intellectual freedom than either Myspace or Facebook. More privacy too, if you're ultra paranoid like me. :D Congratulations for breaking free of the Myspace Collective! Net-Individuality is so refreshing.

I guess the alternative is to just use it as a web application. I can understand that for you LinkedIn is a waste of time…yes you should be playing vs. networking. Your music is a form of networking, yes? But for me, since I’m freelance, I find it useful. And bottom line, it all comes down to how consumed you allow yourself to become with it :) Yes I agree, Twitter was fun…especially when I was traveling (and my friends were traveling), but I had updates going to my cell phone, and I felt like it was going off every 2 minutes!

Don't like Facebook. I ignore the Linkedin invitations I receive constantly. I also get lots of invitations for lesser known social networks. I find them all a waste of time. My networking is called email. :) Anyway, musicians should use their spare time playing their instrument rather than networking. I think the benefits of networking are overstated and overrated. It's another internet-bubble of questionable value. Just my 2c. Ha! Twitter is fun. Don’t like Facebook. I ignore the Linkedin invitations I receive constantly.

I like Facebook only in that I feel I have a little more control…I haven’t been bombarded with spam…yet. I don’t do a lot of posting, but I like keeping up with friends’ photos, videos, etc. And then I keep a LinkedIn page for business relations. That’s all I need.
