Soul-Sucking Social Networking
Posted by Vanity of Vanities! on July 9, 2009
I am not going to join Twitter. Some of you have caved to the pressure, but I will not.
In addition to writing and reading blogs, I have Facebook and it takes more than enough of my time! There’s something about knowing what people are doing or thinking, and knowing what people think about what I’m doing or thinking, that is just compelling. And it’s trying to suck my soul from my body.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with social networking. God made us social beings; we’re meant to care about others and to want others to care about us. I’m not sure, however, that we’re meant to have computers beginning to grow into our thighs because we’re so obsessed with what just happened since we got up to pee. (Oh, wait! That’s why we have Facebook on our phones now! One hand to refresh the page, one hand to, well…)
Why do I need to have yet another vehicle to wasted time? Facebook status updates are overwhelming enough!
DOWN WITH TWITTER!

Oh come on! It’s fun. Just drop your facebook account and get on the twitter. I don’t do both. Who has that kind of time?
I’ll leave you alone for now, because I know how stinking stubborn you are. Besides, you’ll never do it if you think it was my idea. It has to be your decision. (mwha, ha, ha!)

I’m with you. Facebook is satisfactorily mindnumbing.

I’m right there with you. I waste too much time on blogs and FB as it is. I fought FB for a long time and now I’m hooked. Just knowing myself, I’ll fall in love with Twitter and I’ll have yet another thing I need an electronic fasting from someday.
Fight the good fight Angela! I’m right here with you.
