Maybe I'm just not cool or hip. Actually, I'm pretty sure I've never been either. But anyway, I don't get it. I don't get twitter, facebook or myspace. What's the purpose? I have my little blog, email [5 different email addresses to be exact and I'm attempting to phase out 2 of them - and 2 are for junk mail only] and a cell phone - with madly insane text messaging attached to it. If you need to get in touch with me, send me an email or text or call. Why do I need to be on all this other stuff? What's the facination? I mean, I was hesitant about having a blog for fear it was too personal & there is a bit of anonymity lost. But with twitter, facebook and myspace, can you really be anonymous on the web? As it is, everything you post is out "there" forever.
Thoughts?

I'm sticking to email and blogs. No facebook, myspace, or texting for me :-). I already communicate enough!

I think facebook has it's place for helping everyone keep in touch with family and friends when you live far from them. Its less involved than a blog to set up, and it makes it easy for people to connect with each other. I do agree that using it in addition to myspace is overkill. I think that myspace tends to be more high-schoolish and cliquey, which is why I prefer facebook.
Twitter on the other hand is so useful. You can get instant info from specific individuals you want it from. The instantaneous and cell phone computability make it a great tool to connect in real time. I have found it very useful.
