You know, there's something about a social networking site that has "Russian wife" ads on its main page that just says to me, "Ya, Pass on that."
Someone enlighten me because I am old. What's the purpose of Myspace?
You post pictures and tell people, "Am making a ham sandwich. Am happy about it. Am dating Hotty. Here is da pic. Lolz!!!!11"
Ok....
Much like this "Twitter" thing. I don't really "get" Twitter. I think I am getting too old for this. And I'm in telecom. I should care...I think. Maybe I should care because these silly things keep me employed.
"Dude! You're making a ham sandwich?" "DUde! Did you use mayo or no Mayo?" "DUde! Are you eating the sandwich?"
I cant figure out why a website, would need 400 employees to begin with..
Because for a time, it had burgeoning growth and had to add servers constantly. You needed web designers, database experts, IT/IS guys, high and low level programmers, security experts to protect data, etc. etc.. I think they had over 300 million (the population of the whole USA) users at one point if that gives you scope into their size. Now it's about 260 million.
Google has ~20,000 employees. It's not uncommon if the website is your entire business.
Since we appear to be of a specific age/interest group, remember that these sites really appeal to those who need to feel like their thought(s) actually count. This is how they get realized, - you know - the generation who needs to take pictures of every facet of their lives and then get offended if someone makes an off-color remark ... geez I don't know why everyone has to be so rude about my new my boob job .... oh, for some intelligence.
For what it's worth - my life is pretty darn okay without twittering, or having my mug slapped across Facebook.

LOL, I know what you mean about the pictures. One of the young ladies who is a "friend" on my FaceBook (which I joined for a very specific reason which is not to talk about making ham sandwiches). Anyway this friend has over 400 pictures of herself on her FaceBook account. About 90% of them she took herself, by holding up her camera aimed at her face, and then pouts, smiles, grins, laughs, etc.. WTH???!!!!

What is it with this "Dude" stuff. I have an employee that every other word is "dude" or "mybad". We really dropped the ball when it came to education the past 20 years.

I'm in the same boat and I'm a young dude, dude. I work in IT/telecom where everyone and their grandma is on mytwitterfacespacebook. I have inactive accounts on all of them. I looked at twitter for awhile and it seemed to be well suited for press release/news feeds, emergency broadcast type situations. Unfortunately everyone is very concerned about some movie star's dog's vet visit or some inane crap.
It is cool to see the citizens of Iran actually putting Twitter to good use.
I don't get the MySpace site either and yes, I'm sure my age has something to do with it. I do know that a bunch of people are obsessively hooked on to these type of sites. I wonder how many relationships have been blown apart by these social networking sites. It just seems to make it easier for cheaters to go find their next prey.
