Manoa Geeks meeting and social networking

by billso on Thursday, 31 July 2008

Ryan Ozawa, one of our better-known blog­gers on Oahu, invited me to this month’s Manoa Geeks meet­ing, which will be held at the HMSA build­ing in Hon­olulu tonight. Details are avail­able here.

This year I’ve set up some land­ing pages for my social net­work­ing services:

  • A Face­book page with an expanded badge that lists my recent blog arti­cles, and a list of my posts about Facebook
  • A Friend­Feed page that lists my activ­ity on that ser­vice and sev­eral other social net­work­ing ser­vices. I have dis­cov­ered Friend­Feed groups on Face­book and LinkedIn, too.
  • A LinkedIn page with my pro­file badge and my arti­cles about LinkedIn, the most pop­u­lar of all the pro­fes­sional social net­works right now.
I’ve used social net­work­ing ser­vices for a few years, but I’ve really expanded my online activ­i­ties in the last 3 months. I started using Seesmic this week, and I’m also on Plurk. It’s a good way to net­work, and to recruit new read­ers for the billso.com blog.
If you’re inter­ested in explor­ing these ser­vices, or you’re won­der­ing what the ben­e­fits might be, I sug­gest read­ing two arti­cles by Andy DeS­oto, a blog­ger at the Col­lege of William and Mary in Virginia:
