Description:
With this economy being as difficult as it is, it helps to have a network of people to reach out to - be it to get references from, bounce questions off of, or just hang out with. However, developers are not known for their social skills. This session will introduce the various social networking sites and how to get the best experience out of them.

This session was presented by Sarah Dutkiewicz, and really covered the what and why of social networks. She talked about Plaxo and LinkedIn, and the purpose those serve as contact information repositories. She then moved to talk about Facebook, Friendfeed, and the all-too-often-mentioned-this-day Twitter. It's not about telling people about the breakfast you had today...it's about learning and interacting with other like-minded individuals. Once you can leap that hurdle, you'll see the value in services like Twitter.

Sarah's "Social Networking for Geeks" talk was a perfect fit for the Kalamazoo X Conference. The content of the talk was really good, but there were times Sarah talked to the screen and not the audience which made it tough to hear her at the back of the room. Overall though, it was an excellent talk.
