Now I see where you were going. The only social networking site that I find entertaining and somewhat addictive is Goodreads.com. Ellen, you would enjoy this too! However, I would definitely have enjoyed Facebook when I was in college because I spent a lot of time enjoying to the physical version that inspired the virtual entity. It was a yearbook assembled by Harvard the summer before freshman year, then given to every freshman, and it contained photo (mostly the standard HS senior picture) of each freshman plus address and high school. We used it religiously, and I still have mine to this day! Interesting comments! Now I see where you were going.

Facebook is juvenile, uselessly drags you to the site to see ads if you want to collect mail, and is a hotbed of spammers. I saw that Joe was at LinkedIn, along with a few other names I recognized, but nothing really happens. I was interviewing a well-known PR guy who was trying to say that social networking sites will supplant blogging, but I don't see it. --Mike I agree with you about Facebook and LinkedIn.

I barely have enough time to manage a blog, much less a gazillion social networking sites. I just joined Facebook as well for a work research project. I must say I agree the lack of spam, slow-loading pages, flashing nonsense and other MySpace irritants is refreshing. It’s overwhelming!
