Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Blogspot...I do all of this. Construct a networking website, I will hop right on. There is probably a very basic, elementary reason why this is so, but I've still yet to figure it out for myself. Is it because I'm simply just trying to keep up with the social networking au courant? Or am I just focusing my time and energy on small, seemingly useless tasks (i.e.- accepting friend requests, posting comments to blogs, posting my OWN blogs, and - cripes - constructing a meticulously fashioned list of my Top 5 favorite toys between elementary school and junior high) to distract myself from other things?
[FYI:
1. Pogs
2. Colorforms
3. Creepy Crawlers
4. Ghostbusters Ghost Trap
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES]
Anyway...
So am I just keeping up with the masses, or am I focusing on the aforementioned mini-cybertasks as a distraction from actual IMPORTANT responsibilities?
I'm not really sure.

I think it's a little bit of both. I get where you're coming from with 'keeping up with the masses'. It makes us more visible and involved, I guess. But also, I think one of my reasons for being so involved is to escape from real life kinds of things. I def hear you. It's def a prevalent current dilemma.
