I am later than many to follow all of the trends of social networking. I do use a little bit of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn as well as do some Blogging and Forum Posting. The purpose of this page is to simply explain how I use the Internet and Social Networking sites. This is not a page providing recommendation of how others should use such sites. I just wanted a place to list all of the sites in which I am involved in one way or another.
The Cisco Learning Network is a place where Network Engineers of all level get together, share information and learn from each other. This is a fairly new network. As of this writing there are about 93,000 members, so it is growing very quickly. Now I have to pat myself on the back a little bit and say that I am the number 8 in participation status. So I spend a little bit of time there.  LinkedIn is a great professional network. I am not an open networker, but accept invitations from others I have met personally or met elswhere on the Internet. Most professionals that I am connected with are networking or security professionals, technology instructors, or somehow otherwise connected to the field of technology. 
Lexnet is the company that I work full time for as a network and security consultant. My work is primarily in the banking industry as well as some general small to medium business network infrastructure and security consulting. If you are in need of this type of work, my services can be obtained by visiting this site or call for an appointment. 859-266-1141.  I think everyone knows what twitter is. I have two accounts. I use @packetu to post about technology related items. I have another account, @pestewart , that I use to follow people that I know personally. With the @pestewart account, I follow my family and those I have met and have a relationship with.  PacketU is the this website. I started it as a networking and technology blog. The original intent was to teach people about networking from the perspective of the wire using a packet sniffer. It has become a little more generalized than that and has become a place for me to post as I go through my CCIE Security journey. So you never know what you'll find, but it'll be tech.
Well everyone else has a facebook account. I have one, but not very active nor interesting. Feel free to send a friend request if I went to school with you, if you are family, or if we have something in common (like technology). I think that's about it. I also participate in some CCIE Security mailing lists as well as comment on various sites across the Internet. If you want to get a message to me but none of the above methods are appropriate, you can fill out the contact form on PacketU.com If you found this article interesting Please share it with your friends.
