    One of the things that pisses me off about the Internet...

    For the last 2 days I?ve seen my mailbox be bombarded with "friend requests" for all these MySpace clones that have popped up lately.

    I?m talking about places like Hi5, Tagged, Facebox, etc.

    I usually delete them or reject them, but then I always get phone calls from people asking "hey, why didn?t you accept my invitation? It?s cool, we can talk and shit, get to know other people...". Well, what are we doing on the phone right now genius? What happened to going out for a cup of coffee on weekends and shit?

    Ok, that?s a whole other discussion, but what is it that besides MySpace, makes people get on every one of these clones, like they?re making some kind of collection?

    People are buying into this fake sense of community in droves, and it all seems like copycat marketing scams to me.

    Its just more proof that people are massively stupid and looking to belong to some kind of group. At least here at MS we all know we are a bunch of wankers.

      How do you get calls from clones Kinetic? Are you sure it's not the voices talking to you?

      I just hate it when I get that bullshit. Or those East European attn whores sending you meaningless messages like:"Hay, how are yu?"

                    Yes...technology has really improved our society from a social standpoint. No longer do you have to pick up a phone and actually talk to someone, or get dressed and go out to meet people. I pitty the hermit who already had enough of a hard time getting out and about. Don't even need to leave to get groceries because you can order them online for delivery.
                    Awww...I didn't mean A holes, as in "A holes"...I meant it like, as in, my friends....
