Social networking

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. I'm a regular reader but I don't regularly contribute anything, other than 'liking' a particular image or post. I've found Facebook to be a bit narcissistic with lots of attention seeking and often not a lot of content. Sometimes this is slightly amusing but more often than not it is just plain annoying and its something I can live without.

Twitter seems to be much the same. It took me a long time to work out the point of Twitter because I really don't care what some random celebrity had for breakfast. When I discovered the Tweets from NLNZ - National Library of NZ I finally got what Twitter was all about (or what it should be about IMHO). Everyday they tweet about a favourite thing found in the archives - usually an image or some dodgy advertising from back in the day. Its pretty good really.

Overall I think that social networking is something that's here to stay. I can't really see myself embracing it completely though. Its a nice way to keep up with what people are doing but I can't imagine myself posting regularly.
