This pregnancy bulletin boad site I go to - it has it's benefits but it is also incredibly conservative American PC and all that shite, and winds me up as much as I find it helpful and useful. Some like minded people set up a group on MySpace so reluctantly I joined it, having managed to avoid it until now, and I have to say I don't understand the fuss with it.... I think Im too old.
I was telling someone this and they told me to sign up to Facebook, something I was reluctant to do, social networking sites having completely bypassed me somehow. My friend told me I'd like it as it had 'real' people on it , as opposed to incomprehensible teenagers. Late the other night I finally signed up and lo and behold I am now a complete convert. Loads of 'real life' people that I know are on there, and it's completely addictive!

It kept getting in the news when high school kids at one school or another would create a group where they could post nasty comments about their teachers, and then the kids would get suspended from school when the teacher found out. This happened to one school after another; you'd think the kiddies would learn.
But eventually I gave in and joined, and there are indeed tons of real people there. And it is indeed addictive! Way more fun than friendster ever was.
