convert me

OK, here's your chance.

How many of you are on Facebook? Myspace? Or some other version of online networking?

I am not. I don't see the point. I really don't.

"But you can connect with so many people," I am told.

I already do, by email.

"But you can have hundreds of friends," you say.

Really? Friends? Or just people on my online space who otherwise have no contact with me at all? Is it just a competition to see how many people I can collect?

I'm not trying to be snarky. I just truly don't get it. What am I missing?? I must be missing something, because everybody's doing it....

Go ahead, convert me!
