On social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, I’m quick to reach out to people I know well or have worked with in the past. As soon as I see them as suggested people to add, I send a quick note requesting a connection. Now, there are a few people that are on the fringe. I may have met them briefly, or been loose friends with them in High School and the systems have identified us as likely connected (LinkedIn and Facebook do a great job of this). These are people I would accept if they reached out to me, but aren’t quite close enough for me to reach out to them.
On Facebook and Linked in, I’m seeing the same faces to connect with. I’ve seen them. I wonder if they are seeing me. Is this a game of invite chicken?

I had the Iphone, but it lacked calendar sync, contact sync, and email sync. So, I went back to the Blackberry Bold for essentially the ability to sync email, contacts, and calendar.
On the Blackberry, they now support push email for Google mail, but they don’t sync read emails between the blackberry and your email account and vice-versa. So, you are often looking at read emails on your device that you’ve read. This makes the native email on the Blackberry for following a string of emails difficult, but you can download a Google email app for the Blackberry that works. That’s what I use.
The Iphone now has the full repertoire of sync capabilities and push email. Email, calendar, and contacts will all stay synced up across your accounts. This is huge for me. I may be ready to switch back to the Iphone.
