On Facebook, MySpace and 'MyAge'(?)

The most popular social networking tool right now is Facebook. This is according to a poll initiated by Shai Coggins in his blog. Based on the 129 participants of the poll, 49% choose Facebook over other networking sites like Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. Although, I must say, Twitter is gaining popularity nowadays.

A lot of these networking sites have been popping out one after the other and it got most people giddy over these developments. Techie and even tech-challenged people would want to keep up and have accounts to most of them-- if not all of them.

I am not any different from these people I just mentioned. But having accounts with Friendster , Myspace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Facebook and the rest just doesn't make me as updated as I wanted to be. I remember I was just trying my fingers on Friendster and Multiply then I heard about Facebook. Either the change is too fast or it's just me and old age-- did I just say I'm old?.

I want to share a secret that might sound pathetic. And what better way to share it but here in blogosphere, right? LOL. I only got my first email address after college and that was in nineteen-ninety. I can still remember how excited I was seeing my name and my very first message from Yahoo.com welcoming me to the world of W.W.W.---I used to think it was that wrestling show.

I used to be one of those people who thought all these technologies and advancements are just making life so complicated. Actually, at rare moments I still do think that way, but I believe it would still depend on how it is treated. Information is very vital nowadays and the internet has played a lot in giving information. From the danger of this H1N1 to the death of a Pop Icon.

The web can offer a lot of information that are beneficial. Take for example the various blogs that can be found. Some have become influential and has been providing useful and important information to their readers.

Now that I have this blog to start with, I beleive I will-- okay, I'll definitely try-- never be left behind and eat dust with all these fast phased changes. Wish me luck. LOL
