This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Social networking sites
I mean, it’s like a social life for people that don’t ACTUALLY have a social life, right…?

I’m really not interested in reading about which of my couple friends are currently not talking to each other because one of them burned the toast. I’m less inclined to get ecstatic about knowing what the weather is like at the other end of the country. Chances are, it’s going to be better than where I live, and that’s liable to make me a bit grumpy. And I really have no interest in knowing that someone’s offspring has just done their first shit on the toilet. Whoop-de-doo; that’s really quite an achievement. That’s likely to fill my head with images of puce-coloured turds floating in a toilet bowl whilst a demonic sprog bends over waiting to have its arse wiped because it hasn’t quite mastered that bit itself yet. Not so fucking clever now, eh?

I signed up for a MySpace account a few years back, purely because I got a message from a mate who’d signed up and I had to join to read his blog. Which, when I did sign up, I found consisted of absolutely no reading material whatsoever so it turned out to be a complete waste of time. Still, the hawt girlz seem to be falling over themselves to get to know me better. They keep inviting me to view pictures of them.

Which is nice, but I kindly decline their kind offers on account of being a happily married man and all that.

And yes, I know B3ta has a whiff of the social networking site about it, but at least it’s mostly creative, and therefore entertaining.

I would agree with you for people that use it to the exclusion of a actual social life. However those that do probably didn't have one to begin with, so no harm done.

I think facebook and myspace has actually increased my real life social life. In fact it actually responsible for me getting together with my current girlfriend. One of my friends got a long term relationship out of it (still going).

Really it don't think it is much worse than the internet was to begin with.
