Dear Readers,
This morning I was completely shocked not once. First, when checking my email I found a letter from a fellow Linkedin group member informing that someone named Lewis Marchand, member of Procurement Professionals group on Linkedin used my photo for his identity.
Then a friend and colleague of mine complained about him being used as a "test rabbit" by a contributing writer of Suite101.com Cathy Herold in her article "Fired for Facebook: Watch What You Say on Social Networking Sites"
His photo has been used for a title picture implicating him being fired for using Facebook or any other social media site.
This is outrageous!!! Although I do understand the nature of Web and confusions it might bring, this is something very insulting!!! Not only my friend has never been associated with any scandals or arguments over using social media websites, he's actually stands for the company in online world!
Not mentioning about his importance and usefulness for the company. He never been fired for using Facebook!
P.S if you agree with me and think it can't be overlooked then please join our protest and write your comment to the author of that article, here is the link - http://www.suite101.com/content/fired-for-facebook-watch-what-you-say-on-social-networking-sites-a332447

What other business social networks (XING, Ecademy) you're active on?
I know it might be not the best place to ask such questions, don't get me wrong, LinkedIn is a paramount social media business tool for me.
However being a social media strategist it might be stupid to exclude other services and not to revisit your strategy from time to time. Several years ago I have been active on another business network called Xing, former OpenBC network and some others which were known as a good place for social networking in their respective regions.
Since then however, Linkedin gained so much of everything and became one-stop-shop tool for business social networking so I almost lost pulse of those networks, just rarely spending some maintenance time and checking inbox. I think it was not the best thing to ignore them, but LinkedIn grew with such a pace :)
Recently I spend some time on my Xing profile and found some good things about it, including it still close geographical orientation on Europe, that's actually was always known about Xing. Also, I found it more alive and dynamically these days, with discussions, questions and active groups.
Taking into account the expansion of my geographical preferences towards Europe, Xing might be a good supplementary force to social media strategy. But before jump into I would appreciate opinion of other professionals.
What other than LI networks do you appreciate enough to invest your precious time?
