I’m a huge believer (and user) of social networking for genealogy purposes. I use my blog to find distant cousins and write articles. I use Facebook and Twitter to meet other genealogists.
I’ve heard several professional genealogists refer to these tools as a “waste to time.” I feel that perception comes from others not understanding the value of social networking tools.
TV on the whole is a waste of time, too, but if you take the time to sift through the junk you find some good shows there. Social networking tools are the same way for genealogy. Learn to make them work for you.
I can talk all day on this topic. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. –Amy
