I love social networking, makes contacting, meeting, reuniting people so much easier, but there are a few too many out there… Most of you reading this most likely use Facebook, some of you might have a Twitter, and even though we might not admit it, we have had Myspace account, or still have one, you just haven’t logged on since you made your Facebook account.
I would say a year ago or 2, everybody was on Myspace, it was the SHIT, while Facebook was for weirdos. You could make your profile look however you want, spent hours if not days perfecting your layout and looking for that song that would fit your mood and who you are. You added people on Myspace just for the fame, you had 20,000 friends, of which you knew like 9, because your real life was just sad.
Then came the random uprising of Facebook, out of nowhere everybody began making a Facebook account, god knows for what, because at first it was useless, you couldn’t even personalize your profile! *gasp*. Then you realized that Facebook was for mature people and for ACTUALLY socializing, and adding people you know, or might want to meet, instead of having random friends (hence why the limit of friends is 5000… who the fuck has 5000 friends?). Now everyone has a Facebook account.
Then came Twitter (yes i know, twitter has been out for a while, but barely anybody used it), Twitter is for those who think their lives are interesting so they have to tell you what you’re doing 24/7 (if you don’t already do that on Facebook). Here you decided if you wanna follow random people, or just your friends, kind of like a mash up between Myspace and Facebook, without anything of neither, just the updating and the following. You could also follow famous people and reply to them 10 times per day hoping they notice you and reply… but they won’t… so STOP IT!
Then comes Google Buzz… ah…What the fuck was Google thinking? I (of course) signed up for it. It’s like Facebook/Twitter mash up. And it only works with your contacts from Gmail (who the hell has contacts in Gmail? i don’t). Its so useless, honestly, it uses most, if not ALL the concepts of Facebook, and packs it into your email… woo… Watch this video.
Does it all seem familiar? Don’t get me wrong, i LOVE Google, and everything they have done with the internet, but i just never see myself using this, and i doubt any of my friends will use it either. Or any of YOU readers.
I actually pressed the “Yes, take me to Buzz” button or whatever from my Gmail, i have ZERO contacts… I’m so popular.
I wanna hear from you though. Do you use Buzz? if so, what’s different?
