>>For some reason I still think of it as a young people's thing. Not sure if that is true. For sure I know lots of people who I think of as too old for Facebook who say they are on Facebook. Am I just too set in my thoughts?

>No, just uninformed :o) It is mostly used by adults I think. I think kids use it too quite a bit, but I think myspace is still more of a kids site and facebook is used by all ages. I have relatives in Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, and Colorado on it and some of them are in the 60s and 70s! I keep in touch with my classmates from school in Wisconsin using it. I have lots of co-workers who use it and I keep in touch with ex-co-workers using it. That's the only reason I use it.

I thought Twitter was the social messaging site the young scorn.

The professional networking site I swear by, since I got my current gig there, is LinkedIn. It would not have happened otherwise. A local recruiter was looking for a VFP / SQL Server person and saw my name there. On my resume he noticed the name of the cofounder of a company I worked for over 10 years ago, and have not talked to since. Turns out they are old friends. He called Doug up to ask if he should be interested and one thing led to another. There is not a chance in the world it would have happened otherwise.
