OK,, Mr. Stubborn :-) - I twitter, I FB, and I'm minimal on LinkedIN. The last one is a niche - get your resume on it, update your stuff from time to time, and it's out there for professional look-ups in your particular skillset or whatever. I'm not big on anything else - Brightkite.com is the only other one, I think, and I only use it because I have the screenname "Rick" and I'm not giving that up.

I have a MySpace account but I don't use it. The whole MySpace interface is so awful...and those bright rainbow-coloured profiles with the embedded, auto-starting loud music samples...ugh. No thanks. I signed up on Twitter because I kept hearing so much about it, and because I used to love text messaging and our new phone plan has unlimited messaging, so I was in the mood to do as much as possible with it. But I have not really made much use of it. I can't really figure out what I am supposed to do there. Aside from posting funny one-liners or telling people what I am eating for breakfast, I just don't see the point anymore. It was fun at first... Maybe if more people I actually knew used it, it might be different. My list of people I follow consists primarily of people I don't actually know.

I refuse to Twitter. I routinely get messages that "So and So is now following" me on Twitter, which I find amusing. But FB is enough. I too use it for people I actually know and it has been an amazing tool for getting back in touch with people I never thought I would ever come across again. I was on myspace for a while and I suppose still technically am, but I rarely go there anymore. I resisted FB for the longest time but am so glad I caved. But I draw the line at Twitter. If I go down that road I will Never. Leave. The. Computer. Ever.

I enjoy Facebook. I can't get on Myspace because I forgot my password and although I've tried to retrieve it, they never send me the email required to reset it. No biggie; I like Facebook better anyhow. It is a huge time-waster, though. What with Yoville and Farmville and all.
