I'm a little confused...is there a specific piece of these articles we should be looking at or every article that you posted?

PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING: The article focuses on the use of social media by engineers. It states that engineers are using social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter to find jobs, connect with others with same profession and get answers for their queries. Robert Preville, founder of the website Industry Pigeon, mentions that his website is a medium through which people belonging to a specific niche can meet and carry on business. Anthony Bradley of technology research firm Gartner Inc. highlights that social media set ups are failing as managers lack knowledge about mass collaboration. Social networking website Linked In has groups where engineers can discuss specialized topics related to their fields. (JUST AN ABSTRACT-IF YOU THINK IT PERTAINS TO WHAT WE NEED)

Social Networking: The Business Case: The tangible fruit of Web 2.0's rather nebulous branches, online social networking-epitomised by Web sites Facebook, Linkedln, MySpace and Twitter-is becoming increasingly pervasive in the enterprise workplace; this is a development that's causing repercussive reactions in the minds of many chief information officers (CIOs). Social networks do have the potential to become business enablers if you get to know them well enough.

Business Networking can be taught:For years, people in business bragged about the size of their rolodexes, which contained the names and vital information about people who could provide business-related information and share business contacts—the crucial data needed to make good decisions, avoid pitfalls, handle new challenges, and decrease six degrees of separation to two. The computer has replaced the rolodex, but the need to have a group of people who can help in different circumstances is larger than ever. Now they are called "business networks." A business network is a collection of people, preferably with a broad array of experience and knowledge, to which an individual is connected and with which the individual is in periodic contact. Ideally, any member of this network would answer an email request for help within 24 hours. The last criterion is particularly important. You don't have a network unless the people in your network come through when you need them. A business network is not built with a single email exchange or by meeting someone at a convention. Its quality cannot be measured by the number of friends on Facebook or connections on LinkedIn. It's a more personal relationship, usually involving at least one face-to-face meeting.
