Social Network Bankruptcy

I've decided to basically declare bankruptcy on all social networks, I've been all networked out and really don't want to whore out my personal info anymore. Now this doesn't mean that I'll stop blogging/twittering/powncing? but if any else really comes along I'll need to just be left out. At first I thought I was just getting over the social network phase and really just waiting for something new, but I'm finding that the constant stream of info about my friends makes them seem either unintersting or stupid/crazy.

This is mostly based on the fact that your friends will do one of the following they will update their networks with tons of information about every little piece of minutia that occurs in their day to day affairs. Which is potentially interesting if your friend is like a super hero but more than likely it's just boring. The other variation of this is the person who doesn't put up every little bit of information about their lives instead they try to put up witty/funny updates that will in some hopes make them .... seem cooler? To be honest very few people can pull this off especially on a some what regular basis, for the most part we can all get in a few good lines but to do consitently over and over again. Well, let's just say that their is a reason why most of us aren't comic writers. Now if your on one of these social networks you'll notice that most people fall into this general cliche (myself included) . Unfortunately the social network platform really only works when the network can entertain itself indefinetly.
