And I just don’t have the energy for more social networking. [...] [...] I don’t exactly get the social networking aspect of the site other than I suppose you can find your friends and tag them.

It sounded like Danny did the lions share of the ranting - you barely got a word in edgewise. ;) Nah, you weren’t a bad co-host.

You go where your friends are. Just like you choose a pub or a club. That's OK, I reckon. As long as you don't feel you're missing out on action elsewhere. If you're trying to promote something online... then I can imagine that you can lose a lot of time flitting from place to place to spread the word. But for just sitting around shooting the breeze and sharing stuff, surely it's really just about where most of Your people are most of the time? I mean, despite the surface appearance of the apps and the features, it's not like any of these things do anything remarkably different from each other. I go where my online friends are. They're all on Twitter. Because they're socially minded media-making geeks who all know each other from places like the Yahoo videoblogging group... and because Twitter is so simple and easy to skim, and because Facebook seems too limited and closed and brand-y to them. Most of them tried Pownce and it doesn't seem to be sticking even after a week. Maybe it dented the number of links posted on Twitter for a few days... but threaded conversations and file sharing? Features? Who cares? I just want to talk to/bore my friends. And i can't do it as well there as I can on Twitter. And I have Real Life friends who are crazy about Facebook because they don't know anything else and it does what they want. Every so often I'll pop in and say hello, but mostly I get to talk to them one-to-one in person or on the phone or on email, so it doesn't matter to me so much if I miss out on their idle banter. And my wife is a musician and has friends on Myspace, because that's the SN most musicians use. Maybe we should be glad we're not all in one place! The oppressiveness and Total Awareness of that might be overwhelming. And boring. What would we all link to?? (terrible geeky note - in Twitterfeed, there's a check box to turn off Description / Body text which would stop duplication - and maybe they'll add a thing that strips the Pownce username off the front... perhaps I'll go there now and suggest it :) No, you’re right.
