I am not big into the online networking scene so I only was familiar with about 8 of the listed sites on Wikipedia. It ws a pretty long list, but not as long as I thought.
I researched a bit on the site DSI (Dont stayIn) which is most common in the UK. It is a social networking site based on clubbing.Members upload picture galleries to the site for events they've attended, add events and venues. The site was also ranked continuously from April 2006 to December 2008 in the top 3 websites in the UK.
When I did a bit of online social networking was when Myspace was fresh and new before it became over-rated. I joined in order to keep in contact with friends and family when I moved away for a few years. I did not use it for meeting new people since I'm too paranoid about creeps and weirdos. I especially did not intend to use it for dating purposes.
The perfect example on why I stopped using Myspace was because it can be used as a malicious tool. My older sister whom I have been fighting with since I was born, joined the site and found me. I never accepted her friend request due to her evil nature, but my dumb friends accepted her request. With that opportunity my sister viewed pictures they had on their pages of me and would exaggerate stories to get me in trouble with my parents. Until this day I want to strangle my sister!!! GGGRRRRR!!!

i am equally paranoid about creepers on the internet, which is ironic, my dad found his second wife on an online dating service... go figure :]
ReplyDeleteI am a younger sister too. I wonder if all the older sisters are evil. Actually, we get along now.
ReplyDeleteI can say that all older sisters are not evil. My older sister is completely amazing and is my best facebook friend too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience, I did not accept my sister's friend request because I didn't want her be involved in my personal life but my friends added her which I find very funny.
