Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

It seems funny to me that after reading how Facebook is rapidly catching up to MySpace in the UK, more than 70% of businesses in Britain are now threatening to sack employees found accessing the site. That's despite a recent survey showing that two thirds of professionals are using these sites for business networking, Apparently, 55% of business users go online to network with others in similar businesses, and 49% do so to seek answers to professional problems. With the increasing use of Facebook, LinkedIn and others as a place to build business connections, this seems to me like a case of employers burying their head in the sand. As for LinkedIn, compared to the superior functionality and interface of Facebook, it's a bit of a joke. More like a MySpace for business losers who merely want to see how many links they can put up. They were probably the ones who collected merit badges when they were in the Boy Scouts and walked around with a giant sash that dragged on the ground. Whenever I get an email invitation from someone who wants to link to me, I delete it.

When I grow up, I'm going to drive everyone nuts on LinkedIn!
