Nick,

You are so right. Can you see my likeness to Winston Churchill.

Is it the angle of the hat?

(1) HOW DO YOU MANAGE?

EVERY DAY I AM INVITED to join THE LATEST, THE GREATEST and THE MOST SUPPORTIVE and the BEST FOR BUSINESS and so on. There are lots of really good ones and a few that TRY and a few that wimper in corners of the internet with a few members AND SUPER GIANTS.

Everyone has heard of Facebook and Direct Matches and so on and they are all so similar yet so different. BUT,

Roger, first you need to get out a piece of paper and do the following.  In Big Bold Letters write " I AM THE ATTRACTION"

You know Roger, every community has something to offer each of based off of what we desire at the time.  I have seen these same emails and have yet to make over to most of so called Huge Sites. 

For one, the invite just asks me to check out my "MySpace" page.  I usually reply back if I reply at all.  WHY?  I have limited time and what is the reason for visiting your page?  (I seldom get a reply)  I just saved time.

We need to figure out our WHY's.  For many of us it is to earn some kind of income or to learn how to earn.  For others it is purely to socialize and that is ok.  I like to socialize in my spare time.

Roger, what is your main reason for being online and in any social network?

This has turned into quite a post and I will end here, for now.  I will come back tomorrow and spend some more time on your questions.

Thanks for asking the questions, that have many possible answers.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your useful contribution.

Yes I enjoy socializing too and do when I can.

If I really think hard This is the actual reason I join and post in a new community. I like to exchange. 

I really hope to find people who need something that I offer, and do or have something that I want. It might be a cure, some business, an answer to a problem, a kind word, an idea to share etc. etc.

I have done all of the above and enjoyed it but there has to be a limit.

I look forward to hearing more. Your input is always valuable.

Roger

Hello Everyone,                                              

If you haven't visited Andy                                   Anderson's forums recently I suggest that you do.

Andy's latest is great and helps explain some of    the good reasons to use Social networks.
