Dotcomslashblog: Social Networking Is Like Clubbing

  • Frits · 2 years ago
    Don't tell me you like clubbin', Nils. ;)

    Oh, I used to in any case. Now, you'll more likely find me in a corner pub. Is it me or has the fun gone out of it? Lol, it's prolly me.

    you know your post is accurate to the point that its scary. nice job
  • Nils Geylen · 2 years ago
    Thanks Eric. It was fun doing. Btw, I like your site: it's less cluttered even than mine. I'll subscribe and check it out. The first lines of your current post look promising.

    This is almost exactly sums up how we feel about things. We always thought that social networks should be social and we definitely make sure our social content network is both social and has great content.

    As for the barmaid, we'll make sure she pours you a little extra next time. And the landlord is renovating your room, you get better digs soons.

    Man, I need to proofread ahead of time before sending out comments while doped out on anti-biotics. In any case, we are excited for Ali2 and thanks for the well wishes Nils.

    Lol, that's okay, Scrivs. I see that in the end we feel the same. After the past few days, I felt I needed to express that somewhere.

    Hah, that was hilarious. The myspace thing was so true. Especially now that I get random e-mails for friend invites and I feel somewhat obligated.

    But then I turn them down. Same thing with Facebook groups.

    Thanks Pierre, glad you enjoyed that. I see you have somewhat of a literary blog. I've been very neglectful in that field, I fear, both as a reader as a blogger. I'm currently halfway and struggling through Landmarks in Computing History and Under the Volcano. Hang around though, I may have something to say about one of them. Thanks for stepping out of the shadows.

    I would have never thought of it this way. I guess I only visit 1 club then? But it's the same with most of my friends. Some are still attached to orkut, but Facebook is the new place to be.
  • Nils Geylen · 2 years ago
    It is? Really? Don't get me wrong: I like Facebook, but maybe someone should explain it to me. I always feel nothing happens there. People read my blog for a reason, they look at my pics for another. But Facebook? It's not social, it's a phone book with bells on.
