The Buzz is out!

To Buzz or not to Buzz is not a question.

The problem is Google didn't bother to understand how we set up our online lives, purposely building walls between different groups, actively making choices on who gets let in and at what level. Most of us have multiple email accounts, not sharing all emails addresses with all people; and we have FaceBook accounts AND LinkedIn accounts to better separate personal and business relationships. Many people who are into social networking and have FaceBook-type accounts, have also made a decision either to dump Twitter, or never signed up for it in the first place. People on average have about 106 Facebook friends, but only 5 or 6 real friends.

So what the buzz?!? - you can contact me either in Facebook - I have to know you in person and may trust my kids to you - or in Linkedin if at one time or another we have or may work together or just met at a trade show.

Zu Deutsch: Nur gute Freunde ins Facebook - ich halte nichts vom Prinzip der vielen "Freunde" und habe nicht den Benefit von 106 Personen die meinen Namen schon mal irgendwo gesehen haben. Die Samen der Arbeit kommen problemlos ins Xing oder Linkedin.
