Am I the only person who thinks social networking is a bad idea?

I don't want to know what people I didn't like enough to keep in contact with are up to. I am more interested in meeting new people but think I might be the only one who feels like that. What do you guys think?

If I am correct you are speaking about social networking sites such as Facebook or Myspace, etc.





I agree with you, I cannot stand social networking. There is already enough of ourselves laid out in this world via all the information we let out regarding ourselves every day.





I also agree that I don't want to know what people I don't like are doing. I don't want the possibility of being found on-line by someone who "just wants to know how I'm doing". If such a person did want to know we would have kept in touch.





Lastly, those I know who do the social networking thing are trying to hold on to a past that has long since abandoned them, be it high school or college and all those people they associated with in that time. Get on with life people, get on with life.
