PLN's are something that I am not too educated about. I understand the concept, but still think there is too much garbage thrown at us everyday to sort through. On one hand, I believe tools like RSS can help us sort through the junk and just focus on what we want, but still I believe it is just another way to track what people are interested in, how they access their information, and ultimately gives marketing companies ways to advertise to us and influence our train of thought.
As far as the network itself, I think it is great that we can leverage technology to achieve this, but again, one needs to be aware of who they are letting in their network and what opinions they are influenced by. It seems as if it would take time to manage the network even after it is built. Personally, I am just careful who I give attention to and who I get it from. It seems as if a PLN would give people as much access to me as it would me to them. And for the most part, I don't care what 99%
