Panelists at the Churchill Club's annual Top Ten Tech Trends event debate whether or not social networks are beggining to develop an "uncool factor" among early adopters. Futurist Paul Saffo predicts a shift towards "meaningful social networks" and a growing trend towards being disconnected. "The cool thing will be to not be on LinkedIn and to not be on Facebook," says Saffo.

It's actually already happening. Over 65% of Facebook's traffic comes from games, and apparently the average social gamer is a a 43 years old woman. Facebook is following the same road of Geocities or MySpace before, going rapidly from explosively increasing popularity to "uncool". MySpace went from social showcase to "geocities for bands". Facebook is rapidly becoming "the place where old ladies play flash games".

In 2009 57% of HR managers "admitted to" using "social and business networking sites to review potential candidates in hiring. Which means the number was probably higher than 57% and, here in 2011, I'm guessing is approaching 100%. As someone "noted" in my field I often receive requests to "friend" someone I don't know. I assume showing me as a "friend" might look good on their "networking resume". As an aside, I ignore those who I do not know. Everything from Twitter to Facebook to LinkedIn to comments made on blogs many years ago often remain in your electronic record for decades. "Plan" a stellar" electronic network resume and it can help your career later in life even if you are only 14 years old today. Parents who help guide their children's future and wish them success as adults should take an active interest in their on-line activity. NOT to inject falsehoods, invade their privacy or "run their lives" but just make sure they understand words they write today might make a crucial difference in their life decades from now. How the world has changed!

Total contempt for Happy Face (Facebook) and other social media is the norm among my professional friends. We're there.
