Comments on: The Almighty Aviation Network http://blog.radial-group.com/2008/08/24/the-almighty-aviation-network/ Just Like Indiana Jones but Without the Fedora Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:22:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ryan Keough http://blog.radial-group.com/2008/08/24/the-almighty-aviation-network/#comment-1268 Ryan Keough Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:57:37 +0000 http://blog.radial-group.com/?p=57#comment-1268 I completely agree Gordon! Luckily aviation seems to have lots of folks who are early adopters, so we seem to always remain on the lip of the wave before it breaks -- and that's clearly evident with the amount of folks who conglomerate into the social networks we are all connected by. Certainly Twitter and Facebook can be silly diversions for those who don't show restraint and use them effectively. Twitter isn't just for posting what you had for dinner and Facebook isn't just for posting pictures from your latest party. Once those tools overcome their stigma, then people will start to take them seriously. I completely agree Gordon!

It's nice to see others who appreciate the power/importance of networking. We're still at the very early stage, so many think Facebook, Twitter, etc. are just silly diversions. I've been using computers for over 28 years and I've heard it all before, many times. I got jokes about how computers weren't good for anything but games, how Macs were just toys, etc., etc. People were saying the same thing about blogs and open source software not that many years ago. The same cycle keeps repeating, but when we start seeing some big innovations and deals come out of social networks, folks will stop laughing. Hey Ryan, thanks for the AeroTweets mention.
