I’m so depressed

By macjules, June 19, 2009 15:23

I work in IT, and have done for many years. Things come and go , crazes come and then jsut fade away again. Sometimes some of them stick and sometimes some of them are even useful. The newest one is all this social-neworking crap stuff. I must confess that I don’t really get it. This of course could simply be due to my limited metal capacity and a distinct lack on imagination, but  there again…. Take Twitter for instance…. do we I really care about seeing millions of fatuous comments about people we don’t know and  have no connection with , telling us about things that they are doing?

Now I am trying Brightkite.com, I want to see if I can think of a good reason for this. When I read their website I see that  it could be used for instance let your friends find you.

But hang on a second this very site seems so happy to tell me I don’t have any friends!

Come on, if I wanted to be found I’d simply invite them to join me! And I sure as hell don’t want to be “found” by other people. The only really usefull thing I could think of this is for brief sexual encounters …. and as I’m happily shacked up already this seems to be rapidly ruling out any reason to keep my account open longer. However I will continue and see if some serious alchohol abuse this weekend manages to stimulate my imagination into finding a reason for this site.
