MySpace for Networking?

What about using MySpace.com for networking? I saw someone's post yesterday that included a link to her MySpace site and I thought, "Hey, there's an idea." Then again, there's not an idea.

I went to the group that was supposedly medical professionals and found about 5000 photos of young, urban whatnots. I seriously doubt any of them were medical professionals, so much for that idea.

So my question becomes: Should you create a separate identity at MySpace just for networking, or use the same one you may use for personal purposes as well? I'd love to hear from any professionals using MySpace.com as a true business networking vehicle.

Why I'll Never Be Rich

Up less than two hours and here's what happened.

I read a sig file which led to a chat on IRC so of course had to check that out. That led to the script source at sourceforge which led to ad avert link to Googlebar for Firefox (my old version wasn't working), so I clicked that.

Now I've got a new Firefox extension installed so I have to shut-down the browser, and must close all open windows, meaning I have to either finish what I'm doing, make a note to return or ... go off on some new tangent.

Another side trip today: A posting mentioned a business opportunity having At Home Weight Loss Parties. Sounds weird, but hey, weight loss is my deal, so off I go. The poster said she'd met the owner of the Belly Buster Parties at the Ryze network which I'm also using, but not active since I'm like, "Whose got the time?" Sheesh it's bad enough how easily distracted I can be.

Anyway ... back to my story, I'm interested in being more active in Ryze and networking with likeminded professionals so I wanted to see who this person was, so naturally I click t he link to her site callled Belly Busters. The owner's contact info was found there, Lee McCaskill at (772) 224-0753 or e-mail her at Bellybusterdiet@aol.com so now all I need do is follow up. I'd rather find her at Ryze but will that ever get done? Don't hold your breath.

I also want to make contact with Barbara Casey who had the site that led me to the Belly Buster lady. She had a post about using EFT for weight loss, and duh, that's my deal, so there you go.

What got me on that? Blog Search. I was at Blogger.com and saw a search box for "search blogs" so I tried it with "weight loss" and "eft weight loss" but sadly about 90% of the posts led nowhere. Funny too since it was nearly always my text about my free e-book, Changing Beliefs, that was in the search results. Very strange. It didn't work very well though, so I'm not likely to waste more time in there, thank God.
