More social networking
So here's yet more - and perhaps a solid introductory text - on social networking from the Times.
I keep wondering though, does the selling point for these technologies - i.e. the ability to send your network up-to-date info on your whereabouts, etc. - have staying power? The idea that my friends might care that I'm "heading to the gym" seems self-indulgent and gratuitous. (A bit like blogging according to this well-written summary in today's IT World...)
I've never been a fan of technology for technology's sake...I'm curious to know what applications you've found for your clients businesses for these techn'ies. Anyone..?
