I think I'm in love! That has got to be one of the funniest and most employment specific revenges I've ever heard of and really, the USPS does need to be punished repeatedly

Why does this diminish their accomplishments? I'd say it promotes them. Maybe you are the one objectifying them. Maybe I am too, so sue me for enjoying a pretty face. Society is a collection of people. That's you and me and many others. We have opinions individually that get aggregated into 'societal standards' but they are what they are. If people didn't find certain attributes attractive, we wouldn't be seeing them.
Hard work is hard work. Beauty is beauty. Why is that so hard to accept? When I am looking for a hard worker, I know where to go, when I want to see beauty, well, what's wrong with a place for that too. In all honesty, this site features both and I don't see a problem with it. Of course, I completelyenjoy the feminine form, so I guess that invalidates my intellect on anything because I'm just objectifying and diminishing. Hey, I'm not the hottest guy out there, that's why I do an audio podcast. And I'm ok with that. That's life.
Besides, many of the pictures used on the site are promotional pics, and promo pics are used to highlight physical attributes, not intellectual ones.
Oh yeah, thanks for twittering about this site. I wouldn't have found it otherwise. ;-)

in Why Bother Blogging Podcasting and Using Social Networks on Chris Brogan
Chris, keep in mind that you are in the business of promoting your business of promoting your business...ad infinitum. Some of us make things, some of us fix things. Point is, we get paid to do something other than get online and talk about getting online. While I think it's great that we can expand our network of contacts and a worldwide level, none of it matters a hill of beans without the personal contact. That's what Podcamp and Conferences are all about and that's why there's such a rush to them. As much as we love being in the Matrix, at a human level, we NEED to be out of it, yet still interact. (Nice to SEE you and MEET you at Podcamp SoCal btw). Merely gathering contacts in facebook, twitter, etc doesn't not do anything for us. We need to further those contacts by understanding that facebook is just a STARTING point. Too many people get lost in the media itself and lose focus on the goal.
In all honesty, knowing what someone else is doing on Twitter right now is a waste of MY time and THEIRS, unless they are in an industry where They need Me to know what they are doing. All of the benefits you've mentioned, that come from being involved in Social Media, well, I've received all those benefits from being involved Socially.
In the end, it's about the People, not the process. Don't ever forget that.
Dangit Chris, you've got me to come out of the woodwork and be a part of the discussion. I never do that. Shame on you. ;-)
