Task 4 - Social Networking - CHECK!

I've had a MySpace account forever, started when it was popular, that is now mostly idle and wildly ignored. (I think it still says I live in Massachusetts?) I've never wished to have a FaceBook. I don't have the Internet at home and shouldn't Facebook at work. And like the MySpace, I feel as if it would probably be fun for about...um...three weeks? and then I'd get bored. I think big fans/users probably devote a lot of time to keeping profiles fresh and interesting, but again I think that takes an attention span I just don't have. I've seen some folks comment already that they're not interested in mixing business and pleasure with using these sites among coworkers, etc., and I guess I kind of feel the same way. I think its so popular, even for non-profits/businesses/politicians, etc., because it gives them a quick, free-for-once, way to connect with users/fans, etc. People like having "celebrities" as "friends", that whole feel. And a lot of people do use them for creative expression, which is cool. I think it probably is a helpful/fun/convenient way to meet new people or network. I'm dreading the Twitter task. I can feel it coming.
