I use Technorati for finding blog <I>posts</I> on particular topics, rather than blogs themselves. For example if I'm going to write about something, I enter a couple of keywords to see what others have said about it recently.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-15934024593094262542008-06-12T17:47:00.000+02:002008-06-12T17:47:00.000+02:00ms cris,Even in social networking, I would not add...ms cris,<BR/><BR/>Even in social networking, I would not add people as friends if I have not already had some interaction with them, either face to face or by letter (snail mail or e-mail).<BR/><BR/>If anyone looks at my profile on a social network, they can see where to contact me by e-mail or read my blogs.

I have log-ins for them, but rarely visit. I prefer to visit the blogs of people on my blogroll and those of people who comment on my blog. That's pretty much the limit of my "networking," which I don't think is too bad.Adam Gonnermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975190849449996353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-55185551459931744352008-06-12T13:11:00.000+02:002008-06-12T13:11:00.000+02:00Adding contacts in social networking sites is part...Adding contacts in social networking sites is part of the networking isnt it?
