What Social Networking Really Is

Hi everybody , I thought alot recently about what this world is becoming.If you have not heard from your friends in years go on facebook they show up in 5 minutes, yet they couldn't call you in the last ten years even when they knew your number.Then you go out to twitter and tweet, is this mindless or am I just crazy? Let's face it who cares about the cup of coffee you had this morning. By the way who cares about most things I do. You can link in with Bill who linked with Sally who linked with Tom who linked with Fred who linked with George who linked with Amanda, you get where I am going.The real deal is when you meet people in person without this computer.I function best in person live when I meet you.In dating tweeting get's you no where.This stuff is for communication purposes of a small order. In person is where it all happens live and in color, the internet has created a generation of inept people who can't talk to one another, even I spend more time on it than I want to. What positive outcome can be achieved with all this mindless tweeting and linking and creating a shrine to yourself on facebook. Expanding your horizon in person in the flesh takes courage. It also takes social skills.By the way in dating it only happens when your in person, not looking at pictures hoping George clooney or Angelina Jolie is going to appear.
Another thing to consider is that on these social networking sites potential employers are looking you up to see what your doing, you could lose a job opportunity because of what your doing.Living confidentially is a thing of the past with your digital footprint on the internet, tells people everywhere you have been.There is no more privacy. The internet is a great place to research evey subject there is or to look up facts on certain subject matter, it is the wild wild west of lunacy when it comes to meeting people or associating with them, even I can't believe that you must have a website in order to do business when let's face it what I do has nothing to do with a website.I match people that I meet in person who joined my service from finding out about me through advertising, public stories and e mail advertising, then there are others who come here to be entertained. I never met anyone who tweets in my life in person and none of them became customers however those that were directed here became members.I believe that tweeters and face book shrine organizers and linked up people are too busy for a real life.If your tweeting mindlessly all day long you have no time for anything else do you?
