All the latest buzz seems to be about "social networking". If you haven't heard of Facebook, Myspace or Twitter, you must be living in the dark ages. Well, it seems the world of social networking has progressed beyond the teenagers and many adults now find themselves connecting with others and reconnecting with their past through these sites. I have recently ventured into the worlds of Twitter and Facebook. Twitter is considered a "micro blog". It allows users to send and receive updates from other users. These updates, also known as "tweets", are text based posts that are no longer than 140 characters in length. At first thought, it seems pointless, but the concept is actually quite brilliant. You can subscribe follow a person's "tweets". You can also restrict delivery of your messages to specific people. Twitter is not just limited to computers. Tweets can be sent and received through a mobile phone.
Twitter is a great way to connect with like-minded people. It's also being used as a tool to quickly get information out to users. Many candidates of the 2008 Presidential campaign used Twitter to keep their supporters updated. Intrigued? What to learn more? Visit Tweeternet to learn everything you need to know about Twitter.

that sounds good i think i will take a look at it
Those are really popular, but also really dangerous. There are some freaky people out there and they would just like to stalk you and get information out of you that no stranger should know. I don't have a myspace or facebook not because my parents don't want me to, it's because I don't want to. And I get around fine without them. What "dark age"?
