This week I decided that I really needed another social networking app to add to the diversions and distractions in my life, so I joined Twitter. I don't really have a good place for it yet so I'll just put it in the most obnoxious place on this blog and see how I feel.
Oh, the difficult decisions I must now make throughout my day. Where to place the Twitter gadget? Should I post to Twitter or Blogger? Should I check LinkedIn or Facebook? Dare I sign on to Gchat?
Which brings me to my next question, provoked by this CNN article, which is...what really is the purpose of all of these social networking tools? Do I really feel closer to people? Should I have spent the last 1/2 hour adding more friends to my facebook profile or should I have picked up the phone and called my college roommate Grace, whom I haven't spoken to in years? Do I really need to be chatting with four people at once? Do I need to know that the smartest kid in the WHS class of 2006 is now married with a baby and lives in NYC?

I think a lot of people absolutely believe they are close to the online friends they have on these social networking sites.
Yes, you definitely need to move the Twitter widget. It needs to go on white background as does most of your sidebar.
but i don't know how to do that. sorry peeps.
i've been curious about this twitter, but i shall resist. hope my resistance isn't like the one against facebook. ;)
thanks again for tonight.
