SNS: Snooping N Stalking

As I read some of the post on our blog, and reflect over a lot of the conversations that we have had in class, I come to the conclusion that SNS are just the proof that shows how obsessed our society has become with one another. These sites like Twitter, where you have to "follow" somebody is just a remedy to be in others business. Sites like facebook has annoying applications like "poking" someone. Who honestly wants to be poked. I believe that SNS will die down very quickly amongst our generation. I think that people just go on these site to look at other peoples live. I mean who actually goes onto Facebook and stay on their own page the entire time? No one! People normally go on and check their messages, wall post, and then go onto their news feed to see what everybody status says, what new pictures people have posted, and to also read conversations that go on between other people. People say that it is used for communicating, but if these SNS allowed users to still message each other and write on each others wall, but the only person who could see your wall was you, would anybody be interested at all? I think the thrill of these sites are the simple fact that people have the power to look at each others every post, comment, picture, and conversation that is had. I've heard many stories where arguments occur because of something that someone saw or said on Facebook. I honestly find these sites to be annoying. But then I remember that it is on the internet, which means anyone can see it. I guess the way that these sites are being used is what makes it annoying. What do you guys think?
