“what happens when she loses her job or a friend needs a referral”?

I think you’ll find the world, new jobs and friendly referrals have existed for significantly longer than soc net sites! I know it’s hard to imagine how we all survived pre internet and cell phones but let’s not forget that we did.

I think it’s an interesting and important lesson to all involved in creating such tools and sites – the rewards must significantly outweigh the effort involved in achieving them. All too often we get caught up in the novelty of things and are actually investing more time than we would using ‘old fashioned’ methods.

Right I’m off to throw some sheep.

Thanks for your concern, but I am fortunate enough to support myself and my creative endeavors with p/t work in a recession proof field where in 15 years I have never lost my job or needed to network for one.

As far as friends needing referrals, they all know where to reach me.

As far as the online CV, I have a website. It is all there.

I don’t need to use LinkedIn. If you do, great.

pete just emailed me that this was up.

haven’t gotten to the sculptures yet, clearly, still glued to the laptop.

perhaps i will start an unsocial media trend…
