Why Nobody Cares What I Think About

So, I was on YouTube watching videos of hilarious cats in boxes when I came to a sudden realization. The internet is big. Very, very big. So big, I can't even describe it to you. But, I can give you a good representation. But, here's my point: the internet really is just about the last place where everything can, and probably has, happened. There are good parts of the internet, and bad. There are amusing things, disgusting things, and a mixture of both. There are piles of memes, spawning from all corners of the internet, from DeviantArt to YouTube. There are many things out there that I thought I would never like, and some more I thought I would. I myself have seen a good deal of what the internet has to offer, but most will throughout time, whether they use the internet for fun, or the lulz. Today I will focus more on the idea of Social Networking, and how the stupidest thing can lead to a multitude of smaller, stupider things.

Twitter, Facebook, these sites represent the idea of Social Networking in the Free World, China uses a site called QQ, which I personally know little about. But, I do know more about Facebook and Twitter, both of which have their uses. Unfortunately, some people don't seem to understand how these simple sites ought to be used. Between useless tweets like "OMG JUST GOT UP" and statuses like "GOT HOME, WHAT A LONG DAY!!1!" Now, I may just be cynical, but this is just a waste of everyone's time. If you have something to say, at least let it be a smidge interesting. I've given up on Twitter, I haven't used Twitter in over a year, it just seems pointless to me. What it would be useful for would be for it to be used for actual news, or important updates, like it should be. As for Facebook, I can't turn off everyone's posts, or maybe I could, it would certainly stop a huge amount of the Farmville spams I get.

To summarize my point, Twitter is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned. Its pretty much boring, and 90% of posts are either out of place, or are completely useless to me, but I still have hope for Facebook. I know this is a commonly known issue, but if I can change one mind while I am still on my soapbox, then I'll say it: think before you post. There is a good chance most people don't care about when you got up, and if they do, at least try to make it humorous. And for one last thought, if you have over 300 friends, do you actually know them? I only talk to about 30 or so people on Facebook, and that's what I narrowed my friend's list down to. If you don't talk to them, why add them? It's not a race, its just another way to say "HA LOOK AT ME!!! I HAVE 2,387,202,989.232 FRIENDS!" While everyone else is just confused.
