I’ve never had a problem with socializing on the web when it comes to commenting on blogs and forums, but for some reason I’ve been wondering where to start with the various social networking platforms. The strength of <i>Connect!</i> is that it classifies each platform’s intent so clearly. As far as the productivity material, I think the book mixes up a very clear insight (bursts of social productivity that results from a rich exchange of ideas) with some task management advice that doesn’t necessarily reinforce her core argument.

BUT I love, love, LOVE the notion that people found a way to turn the web into a place of social interaction. I love that we are such social creatures that we managed to turn what could have been cold, distant technology into a platform for socializing.
