I loathe online social networks, yet I am strangely reluctant to leave them. I haven’t stumbled across a single piece of content on these sites that has made me think, “Wow, that was cool. I’m glad I ran across that.” At the same time, I am afraid that despite its poor track record, one of these sites will create an online revolution that I will miss out on if I am not a part of them. So far, that has not happened.

I have been impressed with the brilliance behind these social networking sites in their marketability. By giving people the ability to group themselves up, it’s almost as if they have herded themselves up into a big bullseye for advertisers to hit. Look, it’s the “People who love cell phones” group! That has to be a gold mine for AT&T and the like.

I still don’t understand the draw to some of these websites. How can users spend hours on FaceBook looking at updates that other people are making to their profiles? At least MySpace has what I’d like to call “MySpace Boobies” in great abundance. FaceBook seems to be lacking in this department, and being based on college students makes that a shame, a terrible shame.

So find me on these networks. Be my friend. Let’s make some more money for big corporations, because if we don’t it means we are not cool.
