Social networking

Once you've seen one social networking site, you've seen them all. It's nice people have found another way to communicate with each other. I have looked at various sites. These days 'social' seems to be the prefix of choice, put in front of all sorts of words just like e-everything ten years ago. The focus on all things social is akin to bread and circuses. These sites give people the illusion of control over the internet and their own lives and distract people from important politcal issues happening in the real world.
