    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.

      So if you spend most of your working day, posting crap and tweeting you'll be more attractive for employment :doh:

        Looks like there's a big social experiment going on right here, right now.

        I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

          That is one way of looking at it. I like to think of it more in terms of what Mr. Scott Hanselman once said in his interview. The essence was having a constructive online presence in form of blogs, CodeProject, StackOverflow, Asp.net forums is an added advantage both in terms of learning and flaunting the resume. I don't think crapping on twitter will be helpful in any way....

            Exactly. And how often are we told that we have to sell our achievements? That is, behave like chicken - cackling all day: I think of laying an egg later today gack gack gack I'll soon lay an egg gack gack gack I am about to lay an egg gack gack gack I am laying an egg just now gack gack gack I have just laid an egg gack gack gack Earlier today I laid an egg gack gack gack gack gack gack gack gack gack... And the more you cackle, the higher your rating, the higher your raise. But actually, chicken aren't rated for their cackling, only employees are. Typical managers would fail managing even a chicken coop.

              Must say, I have learned a lot from CP and StackOverflow, it could not only shine your resume but sharpen your knowledge, because to write something where these many experts readily read and verify needs good amount of fathom.

                  We have a corporate intranet site used internally by all employees. They are revamping it to make it like Facebook (so we can chat with each other, post pictures, "like" things, and so on). :sigh:

                      Yet another reason that the HR department should be replaced with automated scripts. As a mate once said in the lunchroom to a room full of incredulous, open mouthed stares: "I come here to make money, not friends" Ha ha, classic. :laugh: :laugh:

                        There is one dilemma here. During the work time, you can't just keep on browsing the tech forums and sites. It would affect your productivity. :sigh: And with very little free time during weekdays, there is not much time at home to spend on browsing. So there has to be a balance between maintaining a presence in social forums and work activities.
