So! at 26 and a half, and having been on Facebook for a few years, I now find myself subscribing to a linkedin account. Social networking for the mature and career conscious. Is this the end of my carefree youth I ask myself?
I’ve accepted that I can no longer drink 3 nights in a row and sleep until tea time. Dance all night in high heels or get ID'd at Tesco, but am I really ready to switch poking and sheep throwing for such social elevation??? mmmm
Wikipedia sites LinkedIn as "LinkedIn (pronounced /ˌlɪŋkt.ˈɪn/) is a business-oriented social networking site", erm did I miss something? whose big idea was it to take the Champagne and Canapés out of Socialising and networking? I’m just wondering if the people you know on linkedIn are the people you would ever talk to in a "networking" situation. Much like many people’s Facebook friends that "like" everything they say but wouldn’t make eye contact if you saw them in the street.
At least there is no farmville on linkedIn, I swear if I get one more request I’m going to surrender my account, now to find out who I can throw a sheep at!
