Craig Lowenthal, social media strategist for GlatfelterInsurance

The only sites I currently use are LinkedIn and Plaxo.Admittedly, I've joined them due to peer pressure. While LinkedInhas become a recruitment vehicle, I feel it is professional and agood way to keep in contact with past colleagues. Additionally theprofessional social groups in LinkedIn are a great way to keepup-to-date with interesting issues and pipe in when you want. WhileI'm a member of Plaxo, I really don't utilize it. I currently don'tuse Facebook because I don't want photos from all my friends,family and peers to be tagged back to my Facebook page. While Idon't have anything to hide (that I'm aware of) I feel photos arepersonal and shouldn't be put on display for the world to see.However, given the reality of the role that social media is playingin the world, I imagine that I'll soon have to warm up toFacebook.
