Hi All,
Though I consider myself an internet geek and am online more often than I sleep,  I have in the past tended to avoid social networking sites such as Twitter, Bebo, Facebook etc,  scoffing at the little value I thought they had.


Well recently I have taken the plunge and came across freitasm after seeing who my friends on Twitter were following.  Since joining twitter I have really enjoying reading the posts of technology commentators so thought I would come here and check it out.


I am currently finishing my last papers in a Bachelor of Business Studies (Management, Business Information Systems)  at Massey in Palmy.  In my studies I have come to realise that although IT/IS can be used to gain competitive advantage in the short term, it is usually not long before everyone else catches up, essentially creating a necessity for all businesses that are going to be successful to stay on top of all recent developments.  I seem to have all the theory on board,  but have come to realise recently I lack any advanced technical skills - so this is somethin I'm hoping to change in the near future


I take in interest in technology (particularly the sociology aspect), politics and current events. Just realised I have written a small novel  (autobiography?), so will wrap up here. I look forward to getting to know you all here.
