For me, it's mostly because the boards seemed more genuine. I got to know a lot of people through common interests. I let my posts reflect who I really am. On MySpace, I feel like I have made myself as generic as possible so as to not let anyone see who I am (maybe it's because I've been harrassed by someone I'd rather have no contact with there). Completely opposite from the boards, it seems that social networking has become all artiface. It's like trying to buy a friend on eBay...

So much simpler. Blogging is okay, though. Especially Beecakes. All my friends hang out there pretty much anyway... Mostly I read blogs on writing and popular culture, which fascinates me no end. Even when it gets a bit nutty... Maybe especially when it gets nutty. The sockpuppet thing both amuses and repulses me...

Plus the fact the macateer is out with those damn doctors all night doesn't help either Speak for yourself Andrea, personally I feel I’m using ‘facebook’ more and more now that I’m getting older.

That sounds exciting :D I hate social networks and I think my friends have also started using facebook less and less (bringing forward the idea that facebook is to socialising what masturbation is to sex, pardon the language). Good luck with work though :) Ohhh Cosmo.

Just when I think I've come of age in this Exciting New World, I find I am in the dark more than ever. My cautious entry into Facebook has overwhelmed me - I am just learning that you don't have to add an application, and when you do it always automatically sends it to your "friends". Sheesh! I can't keep up with all the information. My son had to show me how it works - talk about feeling ashamed (more like embarrassed)! Anyway, I can commiserate with your not being able to blog as often as you'd like - my work keeps me busy too - both paid and unpaid (volunteer which I love). So....onward and upward as they say. :-D Cindy M. Reading your blog, Stewart, never ceases to remind me of how ignorant I am in the high tech world.
