I have just recently joined the world of Twitter and I am in love #hashtagskickass. But I am now so incredibly connected to everyone; it's a little freaky. All of this social networking makes you believe people really care what you have to say, where you've been, what you think is cool, and what tattoos you are getting next. By the way - thank you Pinterest for giving me a ton of new ideas of tattoos and locations - there will be no end to my body art now. In reality half of the people are saying, 'oh neat' while the other half say 'idiot'.
My friend and I had decided Hey Telling (for those newbs out there - it is basically turning your phone into a walkie talkie) was fantastic for driving. IPhone texting and driving doesn't work so well for me #fatfingers. So we were heytelling (yep I just made it a verb) and I realized whoa, we could have had this conversation in half the time by just talking on the phone. That would have been titled a social networking fail.
Not only am I connected via The Internet to the world, but also with these so called smart phones. Last night my roommate and I wanted to skype our friend, and she wouldn't answer. Since we have a zillion ways to contact, we called her real phone, texted her, hey telled her. She finally answered our Skype - it was glorious.

You may ask why this is my demise. Ask that of my boss in a couple more months when my productivity hits rock bottom. I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at pins (and I don't even sew, or craft, or cook, or get married, or have kids), checking out blogs - livid when my favorites aren't updated every day, and scrolling facebook to see who what posts make me laugh and mock. It is so very ironic that the stops our parents put on us as young teens to limit our internet time, are the same ones we have to put on ourselves now as adults. Nothing has changed. Now I'm not sucked into the Sims for 5 hours (deleted that app off the phone), but I'm sucked into Pinterest, or Twitter, or Facebook, or Blogs, or Gchat (the classy version of AIM). There are sites you can sign up for that limit your site exposure per day - this is actually a business. A genius one at that, but one that sadly should not be needed for a bunch of adults. How on earth are we going to get anything done 5 years down the road with the number of social networking sites have quadrupled. It took me entirely to long to write this post, simply because I was entrapped in other social sites. But alas, it is a death by social networking.
