I personally use social networking a lot. Some forms way more than others. Facebook, Twitter, (MySpace lol?), they're pretty great and all. (Except for MySpace) But I find myself on Steam and Youtube a LOT more and it's not the interpersonal interaction I care about. I love playing games to entertain myself, and watching videos to pass the time and absorb the knowledge it holds.
Being a full-time student, I don't have much time for games, and the interest for such things come and go with the holidays when all the good new games are released, loved, played, beaten, hated, then finally forgotten. So, as I have already beaten Bioshock: Infinite, I'm on a break from Steam for awhile.
I still post updates on Facebook, but not often. I just don't have anything to say to the countless mass of the Facebook universe. Nothing I haven't already said, anyway. As I type this, I'm in a TeamSpeak server voice chat with my most regular friends and family.
My biggest venture for social networking these days is Youtube. You can see some of my videos in the previous post. I don't post as often as I'd like, cause good videos take time to make. But even though I don't contribute material goods, I watch and leave comments! I watch "Let's Play" game playthroughs from a few of my favorite personalities, but mostly educational snippets, and generally anything I can get new information from.
As well as some less educational, more ridiculous things...
Aside from that is just no time for keeping current with everyone I pretend to care about.
I know a lot about Web 2.0 technologies, and strive to utilize them to the fullest. My favorite example is Google. Google offers so many services that make my life so much easier. I use Google Calendar to organize my school schedule, sorting through homework by due dates and keeping everything connected with all other Google services as well as being able to access it all by phone any time I need.
