If you are online at all you've probably heard about sites like ... facebook.com, myspace.com, squidoo.com, twitter.com, and a gazillion others. Maybe you have a page on one of them, maybe you don't, maybe you don't care, but should you?

That is the real question ... should any of us spend our valuable time on any of these websites? What purpose do they really serve? Ok, maybe for the short run they are cool and give 'social butterfly's' and introverts a way to express themselves and reach out to the world. I've recently begun to wonder myself how many 'pretend drinks' you can send to someone on facebook.com and have it really mean something.

People in general crave acceptance of others and want to let others know what they are up to. Take twitter.com for example ... the whole site is designed so you can let people know what you are up to, what you are doing throughout your day, week, month...

At the end of the day my thoughts on these sites are that they are truly in the infancy stages of online social development. Currently, these sites are pretty much glorified pesonal journals of a sort and how many different journals can one really be proficient at?

And if you are really bord you can check out one of my squidoo lenses that references stuff about selling rvs.

Until next time...
