When Twitter first hit the social media scene, I must admit that I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever heard of. I wondered; Who has the time to broadcast what they are doing every minute of the day?

We're a social species. Our survival has been highly dependent on our interactions with one another. Social networking is little more than an application of this instinct in a new medium: the Internet. In the good old days, we had chat rooms. Ah, the MSN days. I think I've finally reached the age where I can be assured that at least a handful of people won't know what I'm talking about. That's ok. Take my word for it. It was a highly addictive and simultaneously chaotic way to spend one's time.
