Most of my gym mom friends are on Facebook, as well as both of the girls&#39; teachers, so... I think it&#39;s just about who&#39;s on there that you&#39;re connected to and all. I LOVE Facebook!!!

New Facebook is shit because it looks like Twitter. Coincidence?

I have a Twitter account. I got it to dork around with on my iPod. Problem is, when I&#39;m out doing stuff I NEVER think about updating my "online" status. So it just sits there. I think I updated my twitter like twice and forgot about it. I should probably just delete it.

I had a Myspace page forever ago - like 3.5 years ago. But I deleted it. I&#39;ve never had a Facebook page, even though tons of my friends tell me I should get one. I just don&#39;t feel like being addicted to updating anything online. S-B is about the peak for me. I feel like, if there is something I want my real life friends to know about... then I&#39;ll text from my cell. I don&#39;t like using the internets for my social life.

If you care what random celebrities are up to then it&#39;s great. "I just bought some noodles for lunch in Soho. They were great!" not my thing though.

If you&#39;ve got some kind of problem where you feel the need to let everybody know what you&#39;re doing at any given time then sadly Twitter&#39;s great for that.

As for the news and stuff, well I listen to the radio a lot and check a few different news websites so I&#39;m not too bothered about gettin Twitter updates on news.

No doubt I shall at some point join up but I don&#39;t see any need to whatsoever for the forseeable future. Facebook was necessary just to keep in touch with some people and that was bad enough with people wasting my time trying to send me snowballs WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT MEANS!

I find the stuff Krishnan Guru-Murthy and the channel 4 newsroom tweet about before, during and after broadcasts fascinating. You don&#39;t get that anywhere else. Plus, why click around a load of different websites, when you can have their content in one place?

Because clicking different websites simply requires me to move the wrist of my right hand mere centimetres (if that!) to open my favourites. I do understand the appeal I just don&#39;t really care at the moment.

Someone I knew and worked for died recently after snowboarding off a cliff in Switzerland. The story even made the guardian and some other broadsheets - not because of the tragedy though, but because of the fact that the people he was with used Twitter to try and find him. Pretty shit that the fact that Rob died is basically secondary to the fact that someone &#39;tweeted&#39; about the search as it was going on. Oh, and as a &#39;matter of respect&#39; there was a respectful silence held.... which consisted of &#39;no tweets for one hour&#39;. Fucksake.

Now that&#39;s not a rant against the website itself, just some of the twats who use it and get such a huge bone-on from it.

lol they can&#39;t go without for an hour? That&#39;s sad.

Just use an RSS reader for your news if you&#39;re that lazy.

I&#39;m twittering now.
