For the past couple of days I have realized that there has been a surge in all the social networking sites. Specifically Facebook and Twitter. Not only does everyone on earth have both a Facebook and Twitter, but now celebrities, tv shows, talkshows, etc.. now have signed up for these social networking sites. I may complain and/or rant about these social networking sites, but at the same time I feel like such hypocrite because I myself have a facebook,twitter,myspace, and a blog! I should not be talking, however, I believe my reasons in having these "social networking profiles" are justified. The only reason I keep a myspace and facebook is because it's such an easy tool to use to stay in touch with friends across the country who don't have the time to sit down everyday and have a conversation over the phone (btw I HATE THE PHONE,except to text) I have a twitter only because two years ago when I was at Woodbury my friend Jessica told me about it and I thought it would be fun to try...apparently it has taken that long for people to turn into the new "social networking fad" As for my blog, I realize that most people don't read this and it's more of a guilty pleasure for myself to rant, admit crushes, and try to get rid of the writers block i've had for two years! I can't seem to find anything creative to write about (I think I need to take a creative writing class or something) Anyways, I find it disgusting how the media has taken over all of these networking sites. I mean I guess I can understand facebook and myspace, but twitter?! I'm sorry WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU INSANE DO YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN UPDATE YOUR TWITTER YOU FUCKING TWEET! Uggh I really don't understand the new found fascination with twitter, really I don't. It's practically facebook minus the profile. It's a status people, that's it! Why in the world do you need TWO statuses...unless you're doing two things at once but even then what are you gonna do link your twitter to your facebook and say oh check out my twitter to see whatelse I'm doing. NO! people do not have the time to trace your twitter to your facebook or your facebook to your twitter. (unless they have nothing better to do and at that point you really shouldn't be considered an actual person in society) yes it's harsh but I am so flabbergasted(finally got to use that word! 10pts for me!) by the obsession with all of these social networking sites. Maybe it's because I had most of these things before they became popular, just how i like my music, new sounds before they become popular. I've always been able to spot trends like that. I had a facebook, before they opened it up to "everyone" and I had a myspace before everyone and their mother had one, same with twitter. The thing is, as much as I now want to delete all my accounts for these sites, I can't. They've somewhat become an integral part of my social life (don't yell at me yet, let me explain) The only reason I say this is because if I did delete them, I would cut my tie to a huge majority of my friends that I miss terribly, and I wouldn't be able to keep up with people from high school and college. So anyways that's enough for now on social networking. It's a love/hate relationship...whatever will I do.
