I'm addicted to my blogs, I love to read, and to write, unfortuantely, I don't have time to maintain or write my four blogs anywhere near as often as I would like to - but I have noticed something interesting about the techcrunch posts I read daily.
Tech goes in waves. A few months ago it was all about the iphone. Buzz surrounding the release, then the costs, change in price, European release, etc etc. That faded and everyone was worried about Facebook, Project Beacon and invasion of privacy. Once again, the fad has faded, and Techcrunch seems to be most concerned with Google.
Our field changes daily, and keeping yourself in the loop can be a full time job...
Time to get back to the RSS!

Why Network?
I just came across this social networking post, and it was almost as though someone was speaking my mind. I don't get Twitter, nor Pownce. Facebook, mySpace, they kinda make sense. They condense many facets of the net into one familiar, tidy (not mySpace) and centralized home for us to benefit.
Twitter just lets me tell people something. Friends, ok, but strangers?
I don't get it.
The web is going social. If you're launching a start up, there has to be a social aspect. I have read about social cooking sites, and social diet sites... I don't get it, what happened to socializing with real people?
That said, where would I be without my facebook?

Facebook breaks it down
Ok, so most of us use Facebook. It overtook mySpace for teenagers, and professionally some would say it left LinkedIn waiting in the shadows, but perhaps that was the problem. Do young professionals want to share pictures of last nights drunken antics with a world of potential San Fransisco Bay employers?
Zuckerberg to the rescue. Yesterday, Tech Crunch reported that Facebook will allow you to group your friends, so different groups will get different info. Now those old high school buddies that you added so not to offend, won't have the same access as your co-workers you wish to share every second of your life with.
The Facebook phenomena took over. It wasn't sudden, but as soon as they opened the gates of their site to the non-college world, every week has seen a change. Almost every time I log in, something has changed, and to be honest, I don't like it. I am not sure why we're compelled to put our lives online, but this small change could make the world of difference.
