Anybody not in any social networks?
By social networks, I mean friends' friends type of things like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn... I'm not in any of them, so are the few people in my project. What about you? And why don't you?
I spend about 30 seconds a week on it, so it's not like I'm really active with it.
Linkedin is a slightly different case. It is like a useful business directory.
The next wave will be vertical SN's.(few billion dollar ideas there), and networks with a strong mobile component.
I have started to dump all my entertainment focused social networks. I keep an account on facebook, but only use it to keep track of people. I hate their stupid applications.
Some others (facebook) I just sign up and experiment to learn how the user interactions and features play out. In general, I'm not too interested in being a part of their microcosms. But if massive amounts of users like to spend time using them, we should probably understand how and why.
