You know, some people are going to take this the wrong way and think I am angry with them. I am not angry with them. I am angry with the stupid networks that have brainwashed them into thinking they’re anything but a waste of time and bits. I do NOT want to be involved in any more internet social networks, from anyone.
What do they do for me? What good are they? What, exactly, is their purpose, other than to make money for the creators of these social networks? I’ve said yes to one or two of them, and frankly, I’ve had exactly zero results other than seeing my mailbox fill up with “So-and-so wants to invite you to such-and-such group on Social Network Number Seven! Do you agree?”
Screw that. Screw Quechup, which is the most godawful stupid name I’ve heard yet for a social network. Screw anything that wants me to participate for no good reason, and take my time for nothing, so they can make money from people who also give their time and effort away for nothing. I have a blog. I have email accounts. I have my own social network already in place. I don’t want any more.
Internet social networks are the Amway of the internet. I said no to selling Amway decades ago. Now I’m saying no to these stupid networks.
Stop putting me on your social networking lists, people. Stop inviting me to join the fad-of-the-month. Five invites to this thing in less than 24 hours is five too many.
Not.
Interested.
And don’t send me an apologetic email about how sorry you are you put me there in the first place. This is a rant. It is done. Subject is closed.
