Your Anti-Social Network App

I won't be adding this Facebook app, but it's an interesting response to the happy clappy community of "friends" on social networks.  I've had a kick adding "friends" from wildly different walks of my life.  (note the quotation marks, most social networking sites lack an "aquaintance" button, or a "person I barely know" button).  I try to live by the I've-never-met-a-stranger philosophy, so this is fine for me but I know it creeps some people out. 

Facebook more than satisfies the fleeting curiousity of, "I wonder what they're up to now?".  I'm sure I provide more meaningless drivel of my daily life than anyone could possibly be interested in, complete with pictures and passing thoughts, but there is something sickeningly addicting about social networking sites...  Ok, I admit it....I'm a friend-Ho...... and my life is an open book.

...and watch out for the game apps like scramble, and pathwords , you do not have time for this. 

For those who are inclined to sling mud as they may have in Jr. high this app might be appropriate:

"Enemybook is one of several new online applications developed by computer-savvy twentysomethings who say they are tired of bogus online friendships. In a dig at the notion of virtual networking, they hope to encourage people to undermine, or at least mock, the online social communities sites such as Facebook were designed to create."

Provocative. Watch it all.

Remember this.

Whether he got your vote or not,it's hard not to appreciate the historic moments that are unfolding before our eyes.  While the country remains conflicted about the methods to resolve our issues, there is a genuine sense of hope that this great orator has the answers. 

Though, the last picture I saw of him, it looked as if he had just been "briefed"!  It looked like some weight was added to his shoulders.  This term will age any prez quickly.  He's got enormous challenges ahead. 

This is an exciting time to be alive.

Hopeful.
