You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.

LinkedIn

There is only one social networking site I've found useful, and that is LinkedIn. But then it isn't really about "social" networking but cultivating professional contacts. Facebook seems like a clossal waste of time.
LinkedIn - agreed

This is the only networking site I personally use also.
We're experimenting putting Linux Journal out there on some of the more popular social media sites and I have to say, in the process I've only learned how much I really don't enjoy them. Time will tell...

No thank you

I can think of several other ways to waste my time without jumping on the social network bandwagon. I have looked at a couple of these sites and found nothing compelling to make join them let alone live my sad existence through them. Perhaps it is because I am socially inadequate or just because I see the pointless marketing angle and refuse to join in, but I will not use any social network site.
I don't need them

Social networking isn't a bad idea, but the current players (for example, "Linux Journal can currently be found on Twitter, Flickr and Facebook") exist for the purpose of capturing eyeballs and delivering ads to them. This leads to concepts like "you must register to post comments." Sorry, not for me.
enh...

I think these types of sites have SOME value if you're stuck inside on rainy days and have absolutely, positively NOTHING else to do, or if you're just curious (as I was just now), or can't bear face to face socialization for whatever reason, but, well, I'm not terribly enamored with them, nor can I say I frequent any of them much at all! I've got too much going on in my life to care about them. Now youtube! Well we're talkin' whole 'nother animal!
