Social Networking

I cracked up at Diva's post, 'cause I thought the same thing when I started thinking of all the socializing forums I'm on.

Let's see...
FB - LOVE IT!!!!! Go there lots of times a day. I love that I've connected with all my best friends from elementary school through college on there! And most of my family is on it too.
LiveJournal - I have one friend that posts frequently on there and I go read her stuff. I don't use it.
MySpace - Like D said, "It's Dead", although I do still have my account.
BF - ended that relationship about a week ago.
FetLife - Just learning about it.
Collar Me - seldom go there 'cause I couldn't understand it.
Twitter - Don't understand it at all, so don't have an account.
Here - Learning my way around it.

I love all the updates, and have nothing better to do with my life than live vicariously through my young co-workers.

I am into social networking but am not into alot of sites because I have My few favorites including:

1)Facebook - this is one of My favorite addictions, especially playing games on there (Farm Town, FarmVille, Fish World, FishVille, Mafia Wars etc)

2)BF - I still post there sometimes, but not even close to what I use to

3)BFD - I still go there alot, but not much

4)Myspace - I do have an account there, however I only log in once in awhile to check out things

5)Twitter - I have an account there too, but only log in once in awhile to see whats happening with the people I follow

6)LJ - I am going to be opening an account there soon for blogging, and as My own way of venting when I can't (or don't want certain other people to see it)

7)The Planet - This site is My absolute favorite place, and I plan to stick around here for a LONG time to come

I am extremely leary of social networking sites. I use them everyday, I am also monitored on some of them everyday. If I don't need it or use it, I shut it down.

Many HR companies routinely google names on the internet and social networking site. I prefer the sites, like here at the Planet, where the communtiy is smaller, it doesn't feel like I am so searchable through friends pages and "fan" networking. Be very careful what you put out there.

I love having so much data at my fingertips, but that same data is also available to others.
