Social networking

I tried both Facebook and Twitter a while back and abandoned both of them. They took up too much of my time. Each had cool moments. On Facebook, I found friends from my past. On Twitter, I read in shock as Iranian students "twittered" while being beat up by cops in Tehran. So I can see the uses of each. However, they still took far more time than I have and most of what I did with them was completely and totally frivolous.

This came to mind because this morning, and regularly now and again, I'm invited to join these or other networks, and I always refuse. I guess I'm just not a social networking kind of guy.
