Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and stalking in general

It used to be that in order to get to know someone you had to have a face to face conversation with them. Now you can know exactly what the person two rows behind you in English class ate for lunch just by checking out her Facebook profile. Want to keep up with the Kardashians more than Sunday nights at 10? No problem when you can follow Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Scott, and Rob on Twitter.

These sites have made it easy to live vicariously through celebrities or people we know (or may not know) by a click of the button. It gets a little intense if you think about it. People update their facebook's not only with what they're doing but where they're going. Something as harmless as "going to the beach this weekend" may seem innocent, but if someone really wants to say break into your house or something this tells them that you won't be there!

Even if you don't do something like this, the rest of the internet world can make fun of your facebook uploads if it gets deemed "dumb enough" to end up on www.lamebook.com. People will dissect what's important to you, your grammar, and even photos you upload that have never/will never meet you.

I personally do have a twitter and a facebook so I'm not saying they're bad...I'm just saying its something to think about...
