serious question is serious.

First off: IT'S A BOY! I'm gonna have a nephew again :D :D :D My supposedly prophetic dreams have lied to me, sob.

ONTO THE QUESTION: I am a noob to social networking sites and mostly disinterested in them, which is why my Friendster and FB accounts had to be made for me by friends desperate that I get accounts and why they remain untouched for so long. kung nababasa mo to, sorry ka na lang at oo, tungkol sayo to. Now though, I keep hearing about Plurk and Tumblr, and I know some of you have accounts there and I was wondering, what are their advantages/disadvantages? Which is better? What should I actually expect if I get one? I am just really curious because it seems like everyone and their mother has one and, as usual, I am very late to the ~trend.

Lol, ALL my friends are horrified that I don't have a Facebook account up to now, much to my amusement. Even my dad has one, and he's always been skeptical about social networking sites. He didn't see what was so appealing about FB...then he saw some of his elementary and high school classmates and BAM he was sold. XD

Plurk is cute for a while, with its quirky timeline...but it gets old and clumsy really fast. Some people who haven't used Twitter don't see its appeal, but believe me, it's quite useful. It's not just for 'what are you doing' stuff, but for answering questions, following the news, stuff like that. Because the tweets are updated really fast, you get instant replies from people you know.

My mom is really, really addicted to FB, actually. Like she checks it all the time. She has more friends than I do, lol! It's cool though, because some of her friends she hadn't heard from in 40 years or so, so it's understandable :D

Hmmm. Maybe one of these days I should try those, hehe :D
