I love the whole aspect of social networks online. When I first heard about them (probably 4 or 5 yrs ago), I thought they were kind of ridiculous. I felt that if you could not keep your friendship in person, what was the point of keeping it online?
I now have a different perspective seeing that I am avid user of myspace and other sites that allow you to keep in touch with other people.
Sites such as myspace, friendster (if it even exists still), livejournal, flickr allow you to stay connected with friends that you may not be able to see on a regular basis. Apart from the fun side of it, you can network. Many artists (music and otherwise) have commercial profiles and you can add them allowing you to get updates on concerts, new albums, exhibits, etc.
I recently considered deleting my account on myspace but an old friend of mine convinced me to stay when he notified that he is now co-directing a gallery and would like to see my work.
You see? It all works for something.
I hear a lot about Facebook and for this exercise, I created an account with them.
