Comments on: Is a new wave of relevance-based networks emerging? http://www.shareabrainwave.net/2007/06/03/wavy-brandcycles/ What associations do you have with waves?

But I've eventually given in and I'm actually having a lot of fun using Facebook and the other networks. I think it differs quite a lot what people use it for - and personally I've re-met a lot of people that I didn't realize I missed - but am very happy to be reconnected with. I probably would have lived happily ever after without it and yes - it does consume quite a lot of time. But then again...maybe we, as adults, play too rarely and meet new people (or reconnect with those doing something else than we do) too rarely. So if the networks can help us play a bit more I think that's quite an achievement too. Could you elaborate a bit on your last question? I'm not quite sure what the question is - is it whether it's a problem to be as cool in real life as ones network profile portrays? @ Nikki - I’ve quite the sceptic myself for a while when it comes to virtual networks.

I've ventured out and asked some people and that some of the connections and networks result in work offers, and another found an easy mechanism for viral reserach. I like your idea about knowledge sharing and co-creating. I do have a question of living to the brand created by our network profile.
