How are you with Social Networking?  Do you Twitter? Skype? Blog? Do the Ning?  I have to admit, I dove into social networking due to a work project and during the project, I was attentive.  However, since then, I've neglected my social networking accounts.  So much so, I wonder when someone follows me on Twitter - Why?  I haven't added a post in months --so, why do they want to follow me?
