I've found that the real benefits of social networking are mainly getting in touch with those you normally wouldn't reach, and streamlining the process of thinking as a group. Some of my most pleasant surprises in social networking have been the connections and discussions I've shared out of groups on LinkedIn and Facebook -- for those who actually take the time to add their thoughts to a discussion and try to contribute in a meaningful way the possibilities are endless. Of course, the flip-side of the ease of social networking tools is that the folks who are trying to make "quick hits" and plaster their message everywhere find it easier to do so as well. My biggest frustration with the groups I contribute to is the avalance of "I'm looking for work" or "buy my widget" posts. None of them provide any value at all -- which is a huge disappointment because if the submitters took a few minutes to pose a meaningful question or provide helpful information to the group it would get them exactly what they're looking for (enhanced reputation, more leads, sales, etc.). The tendency for far too many is to be lazy and transparent instead of helpful and collaborative. Kare, great post as usual!
