I'm attending an open house/networking event at another company tomorrow night. This is also known as their annual bring a friend or family to learn about the career opportunities. I can't decide whether or not to go full suit and tie or a little more relaxed with a blazer and button down. Any thoughts?

And should you be completely overdressed, take off the tie.

I'm trying to convince my marketing organization, mostly product managers, to get on board with Twitter and become thought leaders. Know of any compelling presentations or videos where I can pull together ideas for my presentation?

What are your first impressions of Google Buzz? I have been using it extensively, and was curious if it has a place for you in your workflow.
Christina Brown:
It is a mess. And I also think Google Wave was over-hyped too. This is coming from a loyal Google fan. But companies make mistakes. It's human.

On a tangent, have you read a book called 'Connected' by Christakis and Fowler? I read an article about it a while ago and they conclude that the network we are in, not just people we know directly, but people we may never have met, have an impact on our health. I wonder about using online social networks to map health, or improve/influence it.

I've seen a few more people join the Network of late. Some questions for you guys - what new lessons have you been learning or care to share from your experiences in practicing UX at your workplace?

This helps me contribute my UX improvements, and aggregate improvements from the others on my team.
