More Social Networking? Anyone?

Socializing is a wonderful thing, but the latest trend in the internet nowadays or what we always said to be social networking sites through the web 2.0 had made me kinda stressed.


Why u say?


Well there’s so many of them! And when I realized it, I’ve becoming members in almost every
social networking, first of all I have Friendster, then I started to upload photos in flickr, along came youtube, not to mention MySpace, tagged, fupei, twitter, facebook even blogger fer god sake! I have accounts in blogger, wordpress, multiply, but do I even use them? Well only for some few reasons, one of them is of course curiosity, and sometimes it’s all that! No more!


Yes it is true that it helps soo many of us in interacting with the internet, we could add our profile in the internet, to let people know our existence, to make people hear of what we say, and best of all to connect with other people that have the same interest. But when the value’s practically the same, it’s survival of the fittest, which will affect the sustainability of the web itself.


You may find my profile everywhere in the web, which is not that safe if u must know, by exposing yourself to the world, u also made yourself to be vulnerable to the attack of identity theft etc. but this is not why I wrote this post, I simply fed up with web 2.0 thingy. So what should I do now? One may say, just delete them! And others may say just let them be... Guess I have to do a bit of those, delete some and let some be in the web, coz I think I’ll need them someday, someday that is...


Feel free to answer my poll to the right; your participation will be appreciated

me. I am an obvious victim of the web2.0 overload syndrome. I couldn't even remember if I had an account here and there.
so, enough for me. I'll keep what I can remember and I'll surely reject some short-stoppers (unless it explodes really loud that it become an obligation to have an account :) whahahaha...).
