Social Networking Sites
Do you use them??? I mean do you really use them or just join because it's there and become just another one of the numbers game. Oh, do you not know what "numbers game" means?? It's when you join, then add all the people you can find just in seeing how many you can get on your friendship list or following/followers.
Be it Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook or whatever system out there, I just don't get it why would someone join and then ignore people or only bother to speak now and then.
The sites must be called social networking for some reason, but it gets old when you speak and never get a reply and some wanted added on and have never spoke yet.
Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe it's just me. I don't know, but starting to rethink my list on these kinds of sites. They don't want social, why do I need to bother??
Alright, later.....

I love the idea. But, when I click on and see that I'm 6 pages behind - YIKES. I don't go looking to have massive lists. It is usually just a few folks who say they woke up, they had breakfast, they took the kids to school and on and on and on and then tell everyone good night. Oh my. Whey would someone post 50 x a day on a social site? All the rest starts to get lost with members like that. Sigh.
I use facebook throughout the entire day. It's a social networking tool used exclusively (by me) for family and close friends (those I actually know).
Chilly I think I've joined a lot of them, but really only use a few -- Stumble Upon, Linked In and Facebook.
The only one I really have a hard time getting into is Twitter. I can never really think of what I should tweet about myself. I have a ton of friends on both facebook and myspace but the majority are people I do know in real life. All of them are people I at one time or another talked to quite a bit but many I rarely say hi to anymore. I have contemplated deleting some.
I basically use them to advertise my blogs. The only one I use to interact with people is Facebook. The others are strictly for advertising.
I don't really use StumbleUpon that much. Thanks for featuring me as your July pick. :)
