Email is dead
Long live social notworking
Tue Mar 10 2009, 12:02
A SURVEY HAS FOUND THAT time-wasting twaddle sites like Facebook and Myspace are now taking up more of our time than traditional email.
The Nielsen survey found that 67 per cent of people who spent time online were fannying about with social notworking and blogging sites and that one in every six minutes spent online was spent trying to pretend to have loads of friends.
A spokesurveyor said some stuff about "global online experience" and "member communities," but we were too busy dreaming up a new website called FaceBoot where you would make spiteful and outrageously libelous comments about all of the people you'd really like to kick in the teeth. µ

FA-Q! never been to facebook or twitter, visited myspace a few times(reminded me of the early web, think netscape 1.0 with gay midi files)
Put my cellphone to pasture a few years ago, thusly, it's email or nothing for me. There ARE a couple Anti-social networking sites out there, but they never made it... wonder why? :-)
Using the same "logic", I bet they spend more time social-networking than eating or having sex or going to the toilet, so eating, having sex, and toiletting are dead too. ROTFL...
All that social networking leads to breeding. Another good reason to tax the internet and save us all from global warming. Oh, and save the drowning polar bears.
poor little bears.
DAMN AMERICANS!!

I may have a facebook account I seldom use(0-1 times a month) but my email tab is always open.
And when we get tired of the problems created by whoring out personal information to Farcebook data pimps and the like, we'll go back to email. Or maybe phone calls. God forbid we see each other in person.

A few more and we could start a "community" here ;-)
Did they send the survey via email or a social networking app?
..you are not alone. I think this survey is about as accurate as a government statistic. The few people I knew who used these types of sites have long since moved on to the next big thing....
and weird only because I don't have any profile on either of these super-social-fantastic sites? Does it mean my life is hereby rendered pointless and asocial? SOMEONE HELP ...
Facebook alikes make me choke. Really.
