Stalk me on Twitter

I simply don't see the value or purpose of Facebook, Twitter and the like.

I find Facebook useful for keeping track of old high school friends and people from work. You can't walk around the office for half of the day catching up with everyone but they can all post a thing or two each day about what's going on with them and their families. You can also upload photos and send links to articles that you found interesting...and then everyone can discuss or comment on them. I think of it as less formal than a blog and I get to see the "blogs" from all of my friends on one page. Facebook also has a variety of applications, such as reminders of friend's birthdays and whatnot...some of them are useful.

I don't quite 'get' Twitter. It's basically text messaging to a group of people.

Oh no! Say it ain't so!
Another great time-suck thanks to technology.

Geez, to think I have to go all the way to Thailand to talk to my friends.... :crybaby:
