I don't know what age one needs to be to recognize the significance of the headline. When I was a kid it seemed that every time I went to Radio Shack to get a plug adapter for $1.89 they wanted me to fill out my name, address, phone etc etc. I am not sure they still do that. What's making me think of this is that every time a friend in the business uploads his contacts into Plaxo,LinkedIn,Spock,FaceBook,MySpace or any of these other things of varying utility it asks me to go see what they did,do what they did or join what they joined.
I am no Luddite. I love technology but we need to develop some guidelines and limits or all this social masturbation that is passing for social networking is going to eat up a lot more productivity than Spam already does. In fact...it needs a name like Spam. Maybe it should be called Potted Meet Food Product. The two things had their origins in something real and they are both hard to swallow.
