It seems just as you are losing interest in a social network site there is an other one there ready and waiting for you to discover.
About five years ago I desided to finally give into the hipe of my mates in school and see what was the big deal with this bebo thing that everyone was joining, after saying that i would never join it and that it was a waste of time, but soon found out what was why it was so addictive, for example talking to people from school that I was in school with just a few hours ago.
But after a while bebo had just became another way of viewing pictures and seeing what other people were up to and less and less communicating with others.
Then I descovered Facebook and when i heard about this i said the same thing as when I heard about bebo "I'll never join" but once I went abroad for a year, I quickly found out how easier it was to communicate with home and soon enough every few hours i was checking facebook, then repeat this process for MSN and then i was using that to much as well.
Even as i write this i have just finished on facebook was tagged in a photo so had to see which one, so with this blog I guess i am showing how addictive social networks are and its not just me, people are losing there jobs in offices because they cann't get of facebook or msn.
So we must ask what is next maybe some social network were you can tell people what your at and where you are, what your going to do etc, oh wait thats this new addictive thing called Twitter, and yes once again I am left saying whats the point and i am never going to join but why should i bother when, if this is the next thing, in a few years facebook will be killed by Twitter just like Facebook killed bebo.
So in short never say never.
