Cyber Stalking

After loading up my computer, i go through my usual routine: emails, BBC news, eBay (if i have anything on there) and then i check Facebook and Twitter.

I didnt add anything to my page, no photos have been added or tagged, so was it a wasted journey onto the websites? Well I dont think it was, i checked what others are doing at the moment, who had a good weekend, what ppl had for dinner last night etc.

Have these websites become a norm in everyones life, that you have to log on and check what others are doing even if you dont add anything, or do ppl just log on and because they have the need to add silly comments to a photo or a status just to validate their existance for that single day?
Lets define social networking as per the dictionary; Social Networking - The use of a dedicated Web site to communicate informally with other members of the site by posting messages, photographs, etc.

There are so many of them now!


Next time you log onto any of the social networking site ask yourself this question: Is this social networking? Or is stalking?
