Why all the hype about social network sites?

Facebook, MySpace, Twitter. Are they really useful?

You can post your pics in your Profile here if you want to. You can post email addys on your About Me page. You got PMs and blogs, and you can insert images in both.

If you're spending a lot of time here, I wonder why someone would use those sites.

One thing that would blow my mind is someone saying social network sites are so great, but their Profile here is empty.:P:lol:

People like to talk to other people via interent.

and lets be real do u really go on someone profile here on gamespot for any reason at allGhostRiderMike

Sure, comment on a friend's Blog, for one thing. At least the people who are on my Friends List want their blogs to get comments.:)

And if I get a Friend Request from someone I don't really know, of course I'll look at their Profile.

I can't imagine someone spending a lot of time on GameSpot and not having any friends to speak of.:o

Because humanity cant be bothered to get off its fat **** and go meet some friends, you know, go bowling, see a movie, the good old days

They can't level up like we can so HAH!

Social networking sites are just easier.

No one I know has an account on this website and for this website, a profile is like a side thing whereas the social networking sites are based solely on a profile.

They have been very useful since I graduated high school, great way to keep in touch with people and the comparisons with this site are useless, most people don't have friends and family on this site, they are completely different.

If you move a lot to a different city/country ONE profile on ONE site is a good way to stay in touch with friends/relatives. Most people have a gazillion profiles and simply accept every friend request they get... how many of those 500 people under their friends list they actually know in the flesh is a mistery >.>

twitter is crap if you ask me - nobody needs a play by play of someone else's life... :roll:
