I believe social networking sites can be a big attraction to losers with no lives. So someone may have 1000's of online friends who they randomly add to make themselves appear to be popular but they are actually a loser with no friends and no life. No one really cares what's in your profile and all those stupid updates you make all the time, every day. People can be anyone they want due to the anonymity of the internet.

Social networking sites have some benefits for people who casually use them to keep in touch with friends and family. But the costs of these sites far outweigh the benefits. Social networking sites allows for pedophiles, stalkers, fraudsters and online scammers who can easily access your private/confidential information if you are stupid enough to put too much in your profiles. Even employers can check people's profiles on social networking sites to find out more about a particular person. Be careful what you post on a social networking site it may come back to haunt you big time.


           What a way to be so negative. I use them to keep in touch with freinds and family,which otherwise I'd never hear from. There's always a down side to everything,and there's always bad people,but that's just the way it is!!!!! Why be so cynical about it!!!!

It's funny how the people on social network sites should get a life and socialize outside of the net, while we talk about them on an internet forum.

Best post I've seen a good while.

On topic, I don't hate them.  I don't have an active MySpace account or a Facebook account but I don't get why I should post personal information for every Tom, Dick and Harry to see.  I suppose it has its purpose though.



Pixel Art can be fun.

But see, we're actually talking (kind of) to people while with something like Twitter you just throw "I saw a puppy!" out there...and that's about it.

-edit-

And don't get me wrong, I think we're all anti-social dorks.

I have a Facebook and Twitter, but don't use the Twitter account too much.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

That doesn't explain away Facebook and MySpace though, and those were lumped in just the same. I use Twitter for certain purposes. I keep up with sports teams that way, the UFC, etc. It has it's purpose also. We get gaming news from Twitter sometimes. It isn't much of a social network for regular folk, but it's a great minute to minute news source if you know how to use it.
