Connecting on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter plus many other SocNet's is all the rage these days. But there are many other interesting ways to connect with people who hold mutual interests. Delicious.com is my favourite way to see what people are reading. This book-marking site allows connection between people who want to cross-reference their bookmarks. I'm... Continue Reading →
