mlerulesI've been ruminating on the purposes and goals of on-line social networking recently as I've been wandering around in FaceBook these past few days. I have some thoughts that'll likely spill/spew forth here before long. This pretty well sums up what I do NOT care for about it.
Why do YOU use FaceBook and/or LJ and/or MySpace and/or whatEVER? What goals do you have in using it/whatEVER (if any)? What needs do you hope to fulfill/have fulfilled? What do you want to, hope to, and actually GET out of it? What's it FOR, in your opinion? (And what's IT?) I'm curious and'd really like to know, as it might help shed some light on these issues for myself. (And because generating and engaging in at least some slightly more in-depth discussion/conversation is something I value and prefer LJ for over FB, at least so far.)

Pretty much like everyone else....
Date: 2009-01-18 06:45 pm (UTC)Myspace- HATE IT! I always have, got it for a project for school and I really don't keep it up to date. Planning on deleting it very soon actually.
OK Cupid, I have no idea why I ever got that. I rarely keep it up. LOL!
I am on a whole other slew of other networking sites and they all point to my LJ.
The ONLY reason why I got facebook is b/c my inlaws pressured me into it and it is better than MySpace. LOL! I have been able to find long lost friends through FB so I shall keep it and use it for those lovely one liner update posts that clogg up LJ. LOL!
I miss you girl! Wishing I could get the Copper Moonies their snacks!
