My Latest Internet Addiction

Years ago, I was actually very reluctant to take part in social networking websites. When everybody was signing up to Friendster, I was slow to join in. (and look where that went.) When everybody was signing up to MySpace, again I was slow to sign up, although I eventually came around and joined. When everyone was signing up to Facebook, I refused to join in because I already had MySpace. Why would I want a second site to do what I already did on another? Well, again I caved in and joined.

That's the way it was for years. Something new would come around, friends would try to get me to join, and only after much convincing would I finally join. However, within the last year, that reluctance has disappeared. In fact, I would say it's turned into something of an addiction, and I am only too eager to join the latest craze. As soon as I saw a few of my friends had a blog, I started one of my own. Did I have an overwhelming need to start one? No, but here you are reading it anyway.

So, what is my latest internet addiction? formspring.me

The entire purpose of the site is to have random people anonymously ask you any question they want, and you answer it. That's it. Pretty simple and pointless, right? Well, still I signed up. I heard about it through a friend, and I followed suit.

So far, I've had very little activity on there, but I'm hoping it picks up. So to any of you reading this right now, if there is any question - no matter how personal, dirty, uncomfortable, funny, silly, deep, intellectual, pointless, etc. - you want to ask, by all means go to http://www.formspring.me/akaricochet and ask away!
