I despise the mainstream social networking sites. I don't find 3 month old /b/ memes any funnier if they're condensed into a "Bumper sticker". I don't care about your uneducated political views. (Not you Achronos, you and Yoozel seem to hit it spot on)

And lastly, having 600 friends on facebook doesn't make you cool in real life.

Facebook seems to be the latest "trend" although more of a thing that came about when it was college/uni exclusive but now everything is just a matter of popular opinion. Nothing will last long in social networking.

Personally I use facebook and find a lot of people I know, party with, luke/brian (animals at using it) all use it to connect, party, etc... but the fact remains the same; in time it will die out or be replaced by another.

Oh good, now I can suck up in more ways than one!

And stalk. Creepy.

Twitter is interesting... I blog because I feel like putting my thoughts somewhere for people to see/read/be-influenced-by (hopefully), and I have a MySpace because lots of other people did.. But I don't seem to have time, energy, or will to keep it updated.

It seems we think alike, as far as our interest in social networking sites go.

Well, many social networking sites have been so dumbed down that us older netizens kind of look upon them with scorn. When I look at myspace, it's with a "get off my lawn" attitude. I guess among geeks, it's cool not to like those sites.

I sometimes feel that way on Bungie too. But at least there I have met enough cool and mature people to balance it out. Well that and it's centered around a common passion, where other social networking sites don't really center around anything.

For me, Bungie.net, xbox live, slashdot.org, and gamepolitics.com give me as much social networking as I can handle. I have gotten into political talk circles from time to time, but only long enough to remember that shouting loudest is an important part of American politcal discussion.

They are the trendiest and most popular sites, but trendy and popular are not terms I've ever heard used to describe me. I don't know much at all about you, but somehow you ended up in the job you are at. I work in a very similar position as you, but not for as high a profile company. Seeing how we did end up working in similar positions in life, maybe we're a bit alike and trendy and popular were not traits of yours either.

Anyway, I had a blast playing with you last night. If you are looking to expand your friends list, you can always FR me. That is in case I'm not too much of a thorn in your side on Bungie.net.

I remember you, Hawkeye. This is like running into a classmate in a supermarket. I'm not surprised Duardo is here. He's everywhere.

Oh, Achronos, add me as well. :)

2008-09-04T13:38:00.000-07:00

Achronos, if you don't mind me asking how many of those people on your friends list are other Bungie employees?

I guess I never really understood the point of social networking sites. In this day of pagers, cell phones, email, and IM, there really is not a need for them. I have friends that love them and some, like me that can't stand them.

Also if you want more friends you can add me too.

You can always add me to your friends list XD

You can always add me to your friends list XD

I know what you mean, I had myspace for a couple weeks then I got rid of it. I hope twitter goes well for you, and I hope the job doesn't get in the way to much.

I find Bungie.net totally fulfills my social networking needs, after creating and giving up my Myspace and Facebook life. So. Goddamn. Boring.

No, random acquaintance, I don't care about the two word bulletins you post every three minutes.

And no, I don't want to join the fight against [insert cause here] just so I look like a better person for clicking the "add app" button.

I'm not one for blogs or twitter, I don't think I've got that much to say. I prefer to read others stories. Preferably a novel.

I had both Myspace and Facebook at one time....complete nightmare.

Now I just have Facebook, but it's still silly. Maybe Twitter will be different.

2008-08-29T18:22:00.000-07:00

I totally understand. That kinda sucks how B.net is taking over socializing. I can relate in a in different way. I've never tried twitter, but I will be sure to now. Good luck anyways. Great person.

Thanks,
