Is Social networking really anti-social networking?

Is social networking really anti-social networking? Some people may think so but the advances in wireless and phone services may balance the trends a little! Now you see more and more people at the bar on-line via their new Iphone model than ever. It will not be long till you see surfers hitting the Wal-mart isles live blogging as they shop. It woud be nice to call it a fad, but it reality and unfolding before your eyes! Not only will people be live on cam, but some of them may be getting paid soon!

Today I had visions that many other have probably had and I had to put it on paper before it drove me crazy! Could social networking be the beast that tears apart society and drive the new bloggers and web gurus into isolation? Could this really be the end for society and the end to bars and clubs and real human contact?

So one day someone figured out that they could use social networking sites to communicate to the world and their friends and never have to leave the house! Hey you can even add a nice badge to your site and ask for a beer or coffee donation, beats wearing a sign that says broke need beer at the bar!

The new world of networking is ever changing and the ideas people come up with are crazy. Who would have ever though to make a donate badge, hook it up to paypal and wait for a reward? I made one with a coffee cup picture and photoshop and Paypal and it took a few hours to make before I was happy! Anyone can do it within a few minutes and find a happy result, I am just slow!

As the net grows more and more everyday people are starting to understand how easy net marketing can be. There are even people that have no knowledge of the net making very good money. Don’t get me wrong many fail hard and land on concrete one day.

The idea of a network is simple and a salesman might understand the vision with no problems. Oh wait he is a salesman though! If he was only a programmer or coder and maybe a socialite and trendsetter or just an insane blogger he might have the skills of Bill Gates.

Don’t we all wish it were that simple, in reality many people really don’t know what a network is these days. It seems there are so many networks out there to choose from. Not only are people joining these networks but also they are video blogging and working the waves with might of superman(or woman)! Not just working the waves but setting them on fire!

Some people claim that just youtube has made them a wealth of money in the past few years. Just like American Idol, everybody wants to know what is new! It is like that hush hush joke that you pretend you didn’t hear! But people want new things, out with the old. Like many on-line Networks the day will come when YouTube will float down the river and get bought or just die.

The net has always been like this and a site is kind of like a bar, when people get tired of that old bar, there will be a new owner ready to party for a while.

Look at Myspace, it is really really hot and wished I owned it. You would find me on a beach in the keys watching the sun go down wondering who’s going to be the next myspace, oh wait I meant building the newest one!

Like all companies that become larger in time they change and roll with the corporate punches. A web site will start to develop that corporate cold feeling after awhile if you don’t have the right players on the team and have the right causes.

I see more and more companies not have customer service these days and less of that down home feel! Don’t you want someone to call you and tell you what day that new bike you just bought comes in or makes sure your getting the right color? That is a dream, for business to be real in life and on the net!

There is one big issue here, what is the net and what is real?
It is easy for someone to pretend and to be motivated by money or fame. There are many reasons to use the net whether it is good or bad, hopefully for the good! To educate and inform or to persuade or just to free your mind the possibilities are endless!

There is an important thing people must learn about the net, everything that you read, hear, or see may not be real! It is shocking and it is true, but the net is a big pool of information made by people like you and me. You know kick back some coffee and write a hundred and fifty miles per hour. Well except for the networks and news sites they are legit! Look for a BBB on the bottom of the site!

So there are bloggers right now settings the net waves on fire looking to find your click. They breathe, eat and sleep blogging and probably thinking about their next blog while they shower, cook, clean, or drive the car, they are Pro Bloggers!

They are so Pro at blogging that many never leave home and order pizza and if they do, they are surfing hard on that new iphone! It is a mad blogging world and I can’t figure out how I got here. I do know that it is addictive and it has had an astounding social effect on me and my social life. Even so much I will carry my laptop around like a hound dog waiting to catch some free wifi.

Many people who get addicted to the net café’s say that they will talk to their friends on-line and them being only right beside them, that is connected. Who would have ever thought they we would be staring into bright screens looking for hope and a lighter future? Some may call this world disconnected, to each their own way! For now at least we have Net café’s until someone figures out how to download diner! Peace! Bookmark me, more to come!
