In society today it is very uncommon to meet someone who doesn't have a facebook, myyearbook, myspace, twitter, bebo, tagged or some other social network account. I myself have or have had an account with just about every social networking site possible. Its not so much that I like the idea of social networking online its more that when I come across some sort of list I feel the need to complete it. Weird I know, I joke with my friends that I have a finish it disorder : ) So one day I came across this list of social networking sites, I think it was on wikipedia.....thank you wikipedia! Anyways that how that got started. That happened a few years ago and since then social networking has blown up. I've deleted most of my account or let them be if I couldn't remember the passwords....which happens a lot. They say its safer to use a different password for everything that way if your hacked they don't have access to all your stuff. But anybody who joins that many sites and has that many passwords knows its almost impossible to have different passwords without keeping a list....but doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Ok....the point for this post.....I've narrowed it down to a few sites that I actually don't mind using. Some because I've set goals involving them....twitter....others because its just habbit....facebook....and others because I like to play the games....myyearbook! So whats the problem? All these sites are a joke. I don't even understand the point of it. Its not actually social networking if you don't really talk to anyone on there and most people don't. People use facebook to keep tabs on people without them knowing. If you think I'm kidding I'm not. I know a lot of people who just check out peoples profiles to see what they're up to. Not a huge deal if your actually friends and have a desire to talk to the person. Its bad when your just doing it to be nosey!
Then we have twitter. I never really understood the point really who needs to know what your doing every second of every day? If its that important can't you just text them? Don't have their phone number....theres probably a reason for that! Anyways....personally I think twitter has become like a spam site. You have so many people just posting all this crap linking back to other crap. I wish I could delete tweets from people who do that....I know, I know just unfriend them or whatever...I don't like to do that its mean. Am I the only person who seems to have this problem with the crap tweeting?
Now for the main reason I decided to post this. Myyearbook! I log into my myyearbook account just about everyday to play the games. I like them because they have this causes button and the lunch money you earn playing games can be donated using this causes part. You can pick and choose the cause you want to help. Like it might be $78 per inch of blanket to help the homeless or $1,000 per sq. ft of rainforest saved. It makes me feel like I'm doing something good....whether its really helping or not I'm not totally positive. Obviously logging in you go through the home page. Well on the home page of myyearbook they have an area that shows you updates from people in your area...like new pictures posted and stuff. You have no idea how many pictures are of crap that shouldn't be posted on the internet. Girls post pictures of just their chests, or of themselves in thongs, or their underwear. Come on if I wanted to see that I'm pretty sure theres like a million porn sites on here. Have some respect for yourself! You don't need to show the entire world what your cleavage or your underwear looks like! They call them private parts for a reason....in case you haven't figured it out that reason is that they're PRIVATE! COVER THAT CRAP UP AND KEEP THE PICTURES OFF THE INTERNET!

Hi, I just registered getting a postcard from you, via Postcrossing. Saw you had a blog and wanted to pop in and say hello. I enjoyed what you had to say about posting pictures on the web. People have NO idea what they're doing when they do that! or maybe they do?
Thanks so much for checking it out! I'll be sure to check yours out too.
