Do you compartmentalize your social networking?
Some people will, for instance, add anyone they have ever met on Facebook, only people they have actually worked with on LinkedIn, and any cool random people they find on Twitter.
I generally add anyone I know to any service I sign up for. I try not to send out automated “please join” letters, though, and only add people that are already using it.
However, because Twitter follows me on my phone, I tried to keep it to people I would actually talk with, and not random cool strangers. Recently, though, I was talking about law school and got added by some law-related people.
One of them was a service that compares your undergrad GPA and grad test scores with those of others who applied to various grad school programs, so you can get an idea of your chances of getting into the programs based on how others fared. (After checking out that site and hearing about Youchen W and Jimmy P getting into law school, I realized that I might have sold myself short, and I should have just tried applying to schools anyway.)
But anyway… this is probably more of an exception than a change in my social networking ways. How do you guys behave across the various networking sites and why?
That’s a pretty cool site
Yeah, it seems pretty useful for anyone thinking of applying for grad school.
you might have seen this, but http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com/ does kind of the same thing too. http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/index.php was helpful too sometimes, but it’s a very self-selected group of people. good luck!
Thanks, I’ll check those sites out.
