Youtube Myspace and ill Google your Yahoo.

There is an order to social networking sites. They are like clothing styles, when you grow up you move on from graphic tee's and cargo shorts. Same goes for social networks. From the glory days of Xanga to watching "Charlie bit my finger - again !" on youtube to following John Mayer on twitter who updates every time he scratches his nuts. Each one is a new fad which I am about to happily explain in chronological order. Lets start with the birth child of them all, Xanga. That website was the start of my dependence on social networking sites. Mine in particular was filled with emo song lyrics and pictures with way too much acne. When i decided to start this blog I made it a point to find my old xanga. Check it out if you want to see how much people can change in 5 years.

"It's yo neighborhood b-rad"

Great tag line, self.

Next in line: MySpace. MySpace came into play around my sophomore year of high school. It was like Xanga, but you don't have to write anything to get comments! And there was music! Yippy! (when you're 16 years old you live for MySpace comments and you apparently talk with !'s) MySpace finished out my high school years strong but it was time for bigger and better things. College kids and high school kids have to separate themselves somehow. The answer: Facebook.


Facebook is socially acceptable internet stalking. Just look how creepy their logo is? His ghost like face just screams "I'm here to rape you." How many times have you caught yourself "deep creeping" on pictures of people you have never met in your life, but that doesn't stop you.

Me: "Dude, come in here and look at this chicks boobs!"... that I'm not friends with in real life but if I was to meet her I would know her "about me"

Roommate: "Dude she is so hott!"... I'm going to remember her name and search her on facebook later to see if she has hott friends too.

That is why I love facebook. Next up...

Twitter is like a hybrid that goes against my "as you get older you switch websites" theory. Maybe it's the fact that you can follow famous people (I could care less) or you can update it from a text message from your phone while you are intoxicated (the reason I like twitter) but it can co-exist with facebook. Facebook and Twitter rule the social networking scene for my age group but I'm sure as I get older, I will make another switch to another internet stalking service. But for now, I'll blog.
