The Oxford English Dictionary says the word "gadget" is a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can't remember. Like that book-reader thingy from Amazon...what's it called? Spindle, Gindle...Kindle, that's it. Check it out in this month's gadget issue.
Other gadgets covered include the Nokia tablets, the BlackBerry, the Neo FreeRunner, the Dash Express, the Roku Netflix Player, the Kangaroo TV, The TomTom GO 930 and the MooBella Ice Cream System. On the larger hardware front, read the reviews of the Acer Aspire One and the YDL PowerStation. On the software front, check out the articles and columns on memcached, Samba security, Mutt, desktop gadgets, bash and Puppet.

There is only one social networking site I've found useful, and that is LinkedIn. But then it isn't really about "social" networking but cultivating professional contacts. Facebook seems like a clossal waste of time.
LinkedIn - agreed

This is the only networking site I personally use also.
We're experimenting putting Linux Journal out there on some of the more popular social media sites and I have to say, in the process I've only learned how much I really don't enjoy them. Time will tell...

No thank you

I can think of several other ways to waste my time without jumping on the social network bandwagon. I have looked at a couple of these sites and found nothing compelling to make join them let alone live my sad existence through them. Perhaps it is because I am socially inadequate or just because I see the pointless marketing angle and refuse to join in, but I will not use any social network site.
I don't need them

Social networking isn't a bad idea, but the current players (for example, "Linux Journal can currently be found on Twitter, Flickr and Facebook") exist for the purpose of capturing eyeballs and delivering ads to them. This leads to concepts like "you must register to post comments." Sorry, not for me.
enh...

I think these types of sites have SOME value if you're stuck inside on rainy days and have absolutely, positively NOTHING else to do, or if you're just curious (as I was just now), or can't bear face to face socialization for whatever reason, but, well, I'm not terribly enamored with them, nor can I say I frequent any of them much at all! I've got too much going on in my life to care about them. Now youtube! Well we're talkin' whole 'nother animal!
