It all really started getting big with myspace. Myspace was one of the first places in which people could socialize, share pictures, share music, and advertise themselves on the internet. It started as something people enjoyed and then became like everything else in this world, overused and mistreated. There became no real means of privacy and young preteen children started to become ignorant to the dangers of the world and began talking to strangers who "loved them more than their middle school friends do." Of course out of that situation came some very entertaining dateline episodes, it was still a problem.
Soon, as always, something new came out, Facebook. This site was simple to use and contained a lot less bull shit then Myspace. Originally it was a site used by college kids in order to socialize and become friendly with other students attending their school of choice. This is because our generation can't really socialize with people face to face. Facebook went from just college kids, to everyone. For fucks sake, my grandmother has a facebook now. I wish I could hate facebook a lot more than I do, but it has become a good tool in which to contact people. You don't really have a choice these days. While a lot of people don't check their e-mail and rarely use their phones, facebook can sometimes be the only way in which to get someones attention.
Then came twitter. It's good for one reason. You can receive news updates to your phone for standard text messaging fee's. That's it. However some people on twitter believe it to be necessary to tell us everything they're doing at every minute of the day. My question is, who gives a shit?
I know the irony in everything I'm saying when I'm writing a blog, however, the difference is I'm getting a grade for this. All in all, socially networking sites are just like everything else in the world. They can be useful tools, or if used by ignorant retards, they can just be pointless.
