I really don't know what to think of Social Networking. MySpace scares me. Mostly because it represents the lowest common denominator, but also because of what I know of human nature. I was creating an account on Facebook and realized how frighteningly easy it is to electronically stalk someone. Sites like Twitter and Dodgeball are neat ideas for getting folks together, but Facebook, Friendster and MySpace really crash through any illusions of privacy we might cling to. I've been accused of being a stalker and I'm still bitter about it. Is the line between friend and stalker merely whether or not you like that person? If that's the case, I think I'm going to have to make a lot more friends offline before I connect with them online.

Thats really funny. Myspace and other social networking sites don't bother me. However, I am terrified to hell of social networking offline. I'm terribly shy. Heh.
