Social Networks

Hmmm, I think I might be in a pretty small group when I say I dislike social networking sites like Facebook.

I had a Facebook account for several months and really didn’t enjoy it all that much. I reactivated my account for this latest assignment, but I doubt I’ll keep it active for long.

I guess I see the attraction of it for some users, but it’s not really my style. The thing I dislike the most is the data mining potential. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it!

I did take a quick look at MySpace and LinkedIn. MySpace doesn’t excite me much either, but they did have a much better search engine than Facebook as far as finding friends. LinkedIn looks like it would have potential for professionals looking to network.
