One UK uni was reporting 75% of all external email was now facebook related - scary, that's a shed load of email... As for linkedin, I've avoided that one. Just about everyone who has invited me to sign up to that has been some annoying recruitment person or people with tinpot companies looking for "experts" to help them with their company. Nothankyouverymuch :-) yeah, I was the same but finally gave in as friends were using it etc etc. I’ll never join myspace though (I think we are both too old for that one anyway :-) )
