Social Networking
For those of us who are 10 years or more out of college, we are just getting used to terms like "blogs," "Web 2.0," "MySpace" and "Facebook." But once you start "social networking," it can be addictive and contagious.
I joined Facebook about two years ago, not really having any clue about what it was or its potential. For months, I had nothing posted on my page except some contact info. I think I only had two friends (one of whom was a cousin!). But in the last six months, my Facebook activity has really taken off. I'm up to 82 friends and counting. I've reconnected with high school classmates and college roommates I haven't seen or talked to in years.
And now, Facebook is also being used by businesses and professional associations (including AAHSA), which is why we at ADVANCE for Long-Term Care Management launched a page last week. It's a great place for professionals in the industry to network with each other, so if you're already on Facebook, become a fan of our page.
