I swore I would never tweet and yet I have just gone and joined twitter. Another information forum which I see as being useful for news updates but otherwise a bit of a waste of time for the average Joe. I decided to following a number of tweeters mostly relating to areas of interest such as archaeology and antiquarian books. I personally can't see myself using or following any tweets on a regular basis anytime soon.
As for social networking I already have an account with Facebook, another tool I vowed never to use but was invited to join. Great was to catch up and rediscover people you have lost contact with. Great tool for keeping in touch with family and friends who live a long way away. Applications are irritating to say the least.
Joined MySpace a couple of years ago to search for someone i haven't really been back. A very frustrating site to use. I can see why most people prefer Facebook.
I also recently joined Linked In again to look for someone i wanted to reconnect with. From a professional standpoint I can see the benefits of LinkedIn as it is a far more sleek operation designed for professional networking rather than socialising.
All in all social networking has its place in the world and i thin it is here to stay.
