   I felt that way about social networking sites in general at one point, but   
   then I caved and joined Facebook. It's not so bad as long as you can   
   mentally filter out the sheer idiocy you'll see from day to day in some   
   friends' status updates, not to mention being bombarded with "invitations"   
   to use this, that or the other lamoid app on the site from the same friends.   
      
   And the latest example of totally brain dead 'innovation' on the site is the   
   new format 'groups' - whereby friends can 'add' you to a group. Yes, *add*   
   you. Not *invite* you, which you could decline (or just ignore), but   
   actually *add* you, so that if you don't want to be a member of their latest   
   daft group, having been added you have to go to the effort of removing   
   yourself. (Once removed, you can't then be added - but that does miss the   
   point somewhat!)   
      
   Why am I still on Facebook, again? I seem to have forgotten. :|
