Now to be fair I HATE social networking sites. Yes I have a presence on MySpace and Facebook as well as a few others I used when dating. I just find them tedious and essentially useless. I don't really want to post pictures for the world to see or all my thoughts for some random idiots to read (opps... like here!)
A few months ago Jenny introduced me to twitter. Twitter is very new and while the name has generated alot of news recently most people don't get it. I personally have found that I love it. But mostly because I found out you can get all kinds of news from it hours before MSM.
I think (and hope) that as it grows it becomes more of a news/communication tool and less of a social networking site. Time will tell on that but here is a blog on Huffington post that proves my point. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/13/iran-demonstrations-viole_n_215189.html
The future is about technology... I can't wait!
