Online Family

How many of your family members are very much into this social thing on the Internet? Are they active in using Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Twitter, and other such online services?

I asked this because I once came upon a blog wherein the blogger said that she and her mom are both 'addicts' to those kinds of sites. They both have accounts on virtually all social sites and they are online for the major part of the day. Especially her mom because she's a stay-at-home kind of mom so she has all the time to herself.

Don't you think that sounds very cool? My mom don't do those things. All she knows is how to chat with my Dad using either Yahoo! Messenger or Skype, which is by itself already cool, right? I mean, not all mothers know much about online stuff.

How about you? Are your parents active online patrons?

I Don't Do Much on Friendster Anymore

Back in 2004 when I first learned about Friendster, I would say that I was hooked to it. I was an addict that I was checking my Friendster account almost every day. And it would really sadden me when a week goes by without me adding a new friend or receiving a testimonial or a private message.

But now I seldom log-in to my account. I only do so whenever I receive an email notification that somebody is requesting for me to add him or her to my friends list. If I know them I oblige but if not, I turn them down. And other than that, my Friendster account is pretty much left untouched.

Even my profile photo has stayed the same for almost a year now.
