The Bubble for Social Networking M&A Has Popped

(1) TCK, way to go, working your political views into a discussion about social networking sites. You get five extra Rush Limbaugh points!

(2) Most of the social networking stuff is hype. Aside from giving shy, awkward teenagers a way to "socialize," what do they provide?

(3) If someone has something important to tell me, they can call. If it isn't critical, it can wait and they can e-mail me or post it to a blog (in the case of media reports).

(5) Twitter is idiotic. Unless someone is sending updates from the first walk on the moon or updates from a blacked-out sports spectacle the magnitude of Ali-Frazier, I can live without the news for a few hours. Come on: "I just ate a ham sandwich." Five minutes later: "Isn't the opposing political party stupid!" Five minutes later: "I just got a tweet about Senator John Doe and he said something that made me mad."

(6) If I want constant inane distraction, I'll grab the mobile from over the baby's crib and veg out.
