I fear that social networking is taking over our society at an astounding rate and creating many problems. People do not know how to act around each other in person now that the internet allows them to do their talking through that medium. Social interaction in real life seems to screech to a halt. The article mentions the detriments that a site like Facebook can have towards your career and your life. Is posting a picture or comment truly worth risking a job (or potential) job? While there are good things about networking (such as the man in Harlem who used Facebook as his alibi), I fear that there are many more negatives.

The clutter that has surrounded the core knowledge is perhaps the ambiguity of Social Networking, reading what is available rather than what is required only accounts for pointless activity. The point is its colossal ! exactly!

Very interesting article. I’m going to quote it in a paper I’m writing for graduate school on marketing for nonprofits. Thanks.

You hit it on the head when you said that part of the reason social networks are so desirable is because we as humans want to know everything we possibly can. Whether that is everything about our friends (Facebook and sometimes Twitter) or everything about a subject (the way I use Twitter), the idea of being included in things naturally appeals to humans.
