Week 7 - Social Networking


Anyone who does not understand why this is funny (and clever) is missing out on a great website and I'm not going to tell you which. Ha Ha!!!
Social networking. What can I say. I looked at Bebo and FaceBook, also My Space.
Of the three My Space was by far the best from a 'lurker' point of view. The viewer was allowed to move about in the site without having to register much more than either of the others.
My favourite bit was the find a friend stuff. Just register your heart's desire and up he/she popped complete with photo. (Yes, of course I did! And the only bloke who looked at all interesting wrote that he was gay!) You really can't win.
All that aside. I don't have any use for such sites but can see the value for families who are spread about the world. An easy way to show off the latest grandchild etc.
To sum up - Social Networking has it's place in the world but should not take the place of talking to real live breathing smelly feet and all people.
Inspirational thought for the week
