Pondering the pointlessness of Twitter / Facebook

I'm a huge fan of Facebook, but it stuck me today that maybe I should be building my own content on this Blog, rather than contributing so much to Facebook. I love how Facebook has allowed me to contact long lost family, who I would never have been in contact with and am unfortunately way to addicted to the Mafia Wars game. Yet that's what the evil Facebook corporation wants, they want this application to become peoples lives. They want you to depend on this thing so much, that they know every intimate detail about your life & internet usage. The data these people already have on their users is huge. If anyone is ever going to knock Google off of their thrown as the #1 internet site, then Facebook will be it. If I were Google I'd be very concerned about anything Facebook does, of course Microsoft saw this and have invested heavily in Facebook, much to Googles disgust.

As for Twitter - I'm not really sure why I even bother, it's so weird how only posting 140 characters of text has become so popular. I've tried to embrace it like some of my friends have, but just don't find it anywhere near as appealing as Facebook.

Anyway, I've decided to try and make a real effort to blog daily here. Rather than contributing so heavily to Facebook & Twitter and this is my first attempt. Enjoy.
