/ 11 January 2012I agree that the third reading assignment was the hardest to read. “Blogging as Social Action” was definitely the one I latched onto too.
If I may be so bold, I’d like to offer a new perspective on the question of why people give a shit about Facebook and Twitter: they’re not doing it for any concrete reason. Asking people why they do it is kind of the wrong question. It’s like asking why people talk to one another in the hallway and ask how each other are doing. It’s your friends (presumably), you act like you care, and you have the benefit of not having to react to whatever bullshit they post if you don’t want to, cause it’s not face to face.
I do it. I try not to make my posts about stupid b.s. Other people are total drama queens and publish stuff that they would say because that’s what they think they’re doing, as Kathy said today in class. It’s totally addicting in a way I can’t put my finger on, but that’s cause that’s the kind of person I am.
It’s also not necessary to use it regularly to understand it and to be in the know of what people are talking about. One or two uses is enough with FB or Twitter, unless it actually interests you and you want to delve deeper.
