Quote:
A social network is a reflection of your friends; so if your social network is about as boring as "watching paint dry".. then you are making a statement about your social network, not the enabler of the social network.
Rather, your friends' attitude toward electronic social networks. I've never had a
friend interested in my facebook page, I've only ever had employers trying to cram one down my throat for various reasons. All of which turned out to be ill-advised administration fads of little to no utility, quickly forgotten and abandoned by everyone involved.
Not to mention all the facebook problems there are to avoid -- privacy issues, tracking issues, and all the social
problems Facebook enables as well as advantages, things we wish no part of.

If they are bored with me; they unsubscribe to me; and likewise, I can do the same.
You can unsubscribe without any unintended social consequences? Or might people be angry and confused?
In the end, it's opening yourself up to a public mob 24/7, and giving yourself one more pot which needs to be constantly watched lest it boil in some way. Introverts prefer to pick and choose how, when, and where they interact
very carefully.
So if you're saying facebook is useless to us because it's useless to our friends, that's fair enough. But that's a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy.
