Social networks to watch in 2010

Briefly, I wanted to declare that I think 2010 will be the year more and more people migrate to LinkedIn and forget about the other, less meaningful social network sites they've joined.

LinkedIn is your social profile for your professional life. Much like Facebook you add a photo and details about yourself, but only details you want your next employer or colleague to know. I've got a profile here. It's not just my spidey sense that's seen the other guys (Facebook, Twitter, etc) lose their shine wihlle LinkedIn slowly and steadily marches into significance, major social media blog Mashable wrote an article about this in October. Read on

And, thanks to the genius work of Posterous, (as of yesterday) I am no able to add LinkedIn to this site. Thanks guys, for connecting my blog to this rising star.

I agree from the perspective that if you put yourself out into the social media sphere, you need to decide if you're going to go professional or personal. I think the personal can leak a little into the professional if only to inject some personality and humanity into you as a professional and your "brand".

This hit home when I was at May's BCAMA conference and one of the speakers threw my Twitter profile and tweets up onto the 40' screens. I had been tweeting, but everything I post is professional and above board.
