Jaye Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hell no. I joined MySpace a couple of years ago, but I barely use it. I think it's been a year since I've been there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Am avoiding social networking sites these days; they take up too much of my spare time with fluffy nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've been experimenting with Twitter in the professional sense. I've been following professional associations in my career path (librarianship) and in turn have made my alias: dusty_book . But I don't post as me, I post as a book in a library Follow me if you think it might be boring; it's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Twitter is an example of all that is wrong with the world today. I cannot believe so many people have so much time on their hands and actually believe that their mundane lives are of interest to others. The fact that their mundane lives ARE of interest to others, scares me even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that their mundane lives ARE of interest to others, scares me even more. I think Twitter is successful for groups, organizations, news stations, etc. Like, if you follow CNN, instead of going to their website 76 times a day, twitter feeds will just update you on the top stories, all while in Twitter. And at the same time you can see if the store you shop at is having a sale, or that a product got recalled, that sort of thing -- depending on who you follow of course. Facebook is better for socializing, meeting people and conversing with the people you know in real life but perhaps don't live near you.

But I guess we got used to Yahoo & Google But I'm thinking with a strange new name there is little chance of rights violations or conflicts of interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid_Gloves Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Honestly, I don't even know what twitter is. I'm on facebook, mainly to keep in touch with friends from school (which helps with the job search) and talk to my family who I never get to see.

Janie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 No, nor do I plan to even see what this is. First there was MySpace, then Facebook, now Twitter. I'm sure there were other big networking sites before and between and there will be new ones popping up all the time. I'm glad I don't have the amount of free time needed in order to participate in all these networking sites. I TRF and email and that's it. I think people are starting to rely on these sites too much and losing the ability to "network" in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not decrying the whole idea of social networking: it has many benefits. but also lots of disadvantages: security & ID theft being one.
