Who does NO social networking on Web?
How many other S-Netters have not signed up to ANY social networking sites, by which I think I mean things like Facebook, Friends Reunited, Bebo, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace etc. etc.
Even my 70 year old Auntie's now dabbling with Facebook!
I really have no inclination to post up my details and family on the internet for others to look at, despite repeated invitations to become "friends" or members. If I want to communicate with someone, I just use phone, text or e-mail.
NB: I don't mean common-interest web forums like this one.

Well I have 180 Facebook friends and love nothing more than letting everyone know how brilliant everything is while I pity those less fortunate than myself....
Tee hee....

BUT this is social networking?
Those of us who have been about long enough know about you Les. You have posted personal stuff.....it's the same thing.
I guess this will turn in to a facebook is for losers thread.
Matty - I'm can't work out if you've made a joke or not.

Don't bother with any of them.
Social networking sites are for Geeks.
And I'm sick of hearing every ****** mention Tw@tter.

Well, Im at the point where Im ready to delete my Facebook account. Had enough of it tbh. sat on 399 friends though, so I was thinking of waiting for my 400th friend to come on and I'll blame them for driving me away 
It just causes problems all over the shop. Bring back the days without internet and mobile phones I say. People were a hell of alot more genuine IMO

Yeah I do "social networking" and use this site called "The Pub". Often a quick call or text message to my friends is all it needs and we will meet at "The Pub" where we are able to talk face to face, have a few real beers, some banter, and a good laugh. It's great 
It so sad that people feel the need to live through the Internet these days, I wonder that one day real socialising will be a distant memory and all our friends will be virtual. The way I see Facebook et 'al are just sites for people who are either attention ****** (those who boast how many thousands of friends they've got), or have little by way of real social skills so feel safer hidden away in a darkened room with a PC, or actually have no real friends so resort to the Internet to track down people they never got on with at school so they think they have some sort of life

tbh Davy, I know the majority of them 400. Apart from about 10 people off SN I've met pretty much every single one of them and was friends with them at one stage. Probably alot of school friends in there that I dont see anymore but that comes from moving away from my home town. Otherwise Id agree

Coffin Dodger, agree. Its become a way for insecure people and those with no confidence to interact with others without having to meet them face to face. Bit of a joke really. The only thing I really like about the whole facebook thing is tagging pictures of friends and sharing stuff like that. The whole social thing behind it is ****

Stick a brush up her @rse too. Sweep the floor as she networks and makes your tea.

Registered with Friends Reunited ages ago, but never really bothered to fill it all in - why would I want everyone & his dog to know all that info?. If I'm in contact with folks then they'll know about me, if not, then Baboo in Nigeria doesn't need to know.
Can't be ar5ed with all the other sites like Facebook; don't really have the time to be filling in updates all day long - how folks who are on all the sites all day don't get a b0ll0cking at work amazes me.
If you've got real friends, get down the pub, nip out for a meal with them, or get some "jumpers for goalposts" time!

I used to go on quite a bit, but don't bother so much now, all I do is look at the status and have laugh. Can't get my head round throwing sheep and stuff at people

In my humble opinion, Facebook et al are for social recluses who couldnt hold a conversation with somone in a pub.
Or big, fat units who lie on their profile and use pictures of fit birds, then delude themselves into thinking the attention is for them and not their profile picture!
Or the bunch of muppets who no one liked at school and formed their own group of rejects, then try to meet other groups of rejects!
I dont need to know that sophie is on the sofa eating cake and looking forward to her hair cut, i dont give a ****, i dont have enough time for my real friends, let alone some sad ****** sat at their laptop updating their mood tags!
Facebook is only good for pesting women if your single, and even then its usually exes you try to **** again!

What I would not wish to do is to personally identify myself on the Net.

On my friends list there is an MP, doctors, lawyers, successful business people, pro surfers, elite mountain bikers, well known musicians - hardly social recluses.
But yes, anyone that updates their every movement all day gets deleted from my list pretty sharpish.

The successful Business people will really be warehouse operatives, who still live with mummy, and get a hard-on when ever a girl looks at them.

They are all a load of "Horse **** " .
As said ,for Saddos who dont have real friends ...
I dont even want to phone people ,I would rather call round and speak to them in person .
Its just another place for wierdos to brag and fabricate Tall Stories about themselves .
Get a Life .
