The Social society

After a long break my long awaited blog is back and I thought I'd write about social networking and the like.

While writing this blog I am also on Facebook, Formspring and Spotify. I think I should ask myself why?


1. I am in no way popular, very few people actually care about what I say

2. I never get many notifications on Facebook or questions on Formspring

3. I hate all these things and find them incredibly depressing


Then it hit me "I am an addict"

Ironically there is very little on the Internet that is any good about this subject so I guess I'll have to write it straight from the heart.

Facebook is such an annoying site; it relies on me actually caring what other people have to say and I really don't. Yet I still constantly check everyone's updates just to see what's going on in everyone elses depressing lives when I could be doing something useful.

Formspring is even worse. When I got it I expected horrible messages written about me but I log on to find that I have no questions. I probably would prefer the attention even if it was abuse.

At least other people seem to be getting questions, but here's an example of the kind of question. Just random letters. Technically it's not even a question. Honestly I have waited since I got Formspring for something vaguely interesting to happen but so far no luck.

At least Spotify will get me through; I can listen to all the music I want, whenever I want to. But then an advert pops up and I hear something about "Berrocca Boost" or "Vodaphone free-bees." If I wanted to listen to rubbish adverts like these I would listen to local radio (which I try to avoid as much as possible.)

But having said this I am still on Facebook, Formspring and Spotify; just waiting for my sad, pathetic existence to erupt into something brilliant (which I strongly doubt will happen.)
To be honest I am a complete hypocrite because I am writing a blog about the "joys" of social networking on a blogging site.

I may even publish this on Facebook!
