Sharing is Caring

  Facebook and Twitter are the best know social networking sites out there, not counting Myspace. But what is their function? Facebook boasts that they help people get back together after years of disconnection, whether it be by joining the military, going off to college, or that time you shot their brother and then used the body as a puppet so that no one would know the difference.

You can barely even see the wires on that beardy guy in the middle.

  Twitter is... What the hell is Twitter for? Before I started using it, I always said that it was for people who wanted have a Facebook where all you could do is update your status every 5 minutes. Yes, there are some people who use it for that, but I got an account a while back because of a follower contest for Goblins. Since then, I've realized a thing or two about these social networking websites.

  Some of my friends make fun of me because I'm always posting links to videos and Cracked articles on Facebook, specifically to my girlfriend's wall for the most part. But the thing is, it all shows up to mini-feed. If you like that sort of thing, that's awesome, because that means you're getting all types of cool articles and information. From there, maybe you send the link along yourself, or maybe it gets you into a new website you've never heard of before. If you don't like it, hide me, whatever. There is so much information and knowledge out that there you may never see, and I like to think I'm helping you experience at least some of it.

  Twitter on the other hand, really is Facebook without all the bells and whistles. And you know what? I love it. I have found so many new webcomics, music, videos, games, awesome tee shirt sites, and articles, from science to deaths in the comic industry. Now, you do get a ton of people who are like, "LOL ate a sandwich", and "Just saw Justin Beiber live, why don't I have any friends?" but I don't follow those people. In my next post, titled Feeding You in 140 Characters or Less (link coming in about an hour), I will explain who these fabulous non-annoying people are.
 
  Between these two websites you have to realize something, iff'n you like, and that is these aren't just for catching up with that buddy you haven't seen in three years. They're for networking. Creating networks of information that are sent all over the world in barely a second. I'm sharing knowledge with you, whether it's a baby monkey on the back of a pig or the history of Pixar by movie.

Holy cow, isn't that what the internet was made for?!
