I'm a member of the main ones, never use any of them much. Used to use facebook a lot but now it's like a resource rather than a way to communicate.

So it's not worth the watch then?

No, not worth the watch. Got about half way through and turned it off.

I am on facebook but I don't use it as much as I used to... besides....people are annoying to talk to.

Facebook to me, is like leaning out a window to look below onto a common spot and see what's going on.

If I want to get involved, I leave my room and mingle.

Or I could ignore it and be left alone.

It's just a tool.

Is it just me or is Mark Zuckerberg potrayed as a jealous sexist arrogant genius. It also seems he hasn't any ethics either, in tems of business dealings, by literally stabbing his business partners in the back. It is also interesting that he used a spamming technique to get his idea out there. I get spams in my inbox all the time inviting me to join.

Amazing, an unethical, sexist, jealous, spamming, genius that is the youngest biliionare in the history od the World!

Only really use facebook. Great tool for keeping in touch, organising nights out and such but I turn down any freind requests that aren't from people I actually like and see in real life. "I DIDN'T LIKE OR TALK TO YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL 5 YEARS AGO, WHY DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO ADD ME NOW!! YOU TWAT!!!"

What does it mean to have our lives watched by an invited guest who never forgets anything he sees? Mr. Internet comes in many guises – Count Facebook, Mssr Twitter, Professor LinkedIn, Herr Amazon – but essentially he’s doing the same thing every time: recording everything we do and noting every word we think on screen. Increasingly, his multiple personas are collapsing into one identity, which means that we are no longer a patchwork of disconnected footprints across the Web. Each of us is a collage that stands as one painting in the hallway of all the portraits of our fellow beings on the Internet. In this Digital Museum, our collage is part of a permanent exhibition.

Once it was only celebrities who had the problem of never being able to escape their past. No matter how well Jennifer Aniston does as an actress, she’ll always also be the woman that Brad Pitt left for Angelina Jolie. Now we non-celebrities have the same issue. A friend recently complained that even though she has come far in her life, Google still serves up her drunken arrest when she was a teenager whenever her name is searched. If our friend had known that one day her night of drunkenness was going to affect her job opportunities and her dating prospects, she might not have had that fifth vodka tonic. The issues she’s faced in getting her employers to trust her would make anyone turn into a teetotaler.

This will make it easier for Zooey Graystone to construct avatars that accurately represent our personality after we die. I want to be a Cylon!
