Comments on: LinkedIn, Plaxo, Spock, SecondLife and Facebook http://ctovision.com/2008/02/linkedin-plaxo-spock-secondlife-and-facebook/ News, analysis and context on enterprise technology for the CTO Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Milligan http://ctovision.com/2008/02/linkedin-plaxo-spock-secondlife-and-facebook/#comment-37 Mark Milligan Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:23:40 +0000 http://ctovision.com/?p=73#comment-37 I had coincidentally signed up for FaceBook recently - am still trying to figure it out besides the 'gee, I better join this thing - I keep hearing about it on the news." LinkedIn amazes me. Someone should write a book on how some of the users gets hundreds if not thousands of links - is there some spiral spam aspect to this I don't know about - I know I accidentally clicked on an invite from a guy from IBM, who it turns out I do not know - he has literally 20k+ links. But yes, I like to know where my contacts are, so that is why I use it primarily.
