For years I have fought off the soul-crushing pull of twitter and facebook, mostly because I prefer to call my friends on the telephone (OOH AAAH OLD SCHOOL HUH?!)
But with the rise of all of these Beta Giveaways.. I gave in.. I created both a FB and Twitter account and I have been a slave to the machine for the last 2 weeks.
Now all of these contest are coming to a halt and I am left with only one thing.. and no it's not a beta key.. its the shame of giving up my personal ideals to win a sweepstakes..
I got on to follow Bashiok and Jay's updates. I don't post anything though. It's a good resource I guess. I got a good answer to a question I had for Bashiok about items.
same here, I tried a bit but it was useless.
I'm more disappointing than before, I don't have a beta key and I lost interest in most sites which run these contest.
I can't really wrap my head around the social networking obsession some people have... I created a Facebook account in High School and had a little fun with it, had a little fun with it in college, but I don't even touch it nowadays. I've had a Twitter account for ages too, but I've barely ever used that. Signed up when Google+ went live, but again, don't touch it.
Honestly, if I want to have a conversation with someone, it's not going to be screaming out loud where everyone can hear. I wouldn't do it in real life, why should I do it online? And if I want a personal journal, I'm not going to read it out loud to millions of people, yet people seem to think we all want to hear their innermost thoughts...
But, it seems the world really wants social networking to stick, so I'm sure it's not going anywhere.
People gasp when I say I don't have (and never have had) a cell phone. I'm 24 and I want to go to school, work, and leisure in peace.
Facebook sucks (I'm the kind of person that likes to experience things they dislike just to hate them, and facebook is great for that).
Fuck twitter.
I've had a Facebook since I was 12. But cause I am of a younger generation, it is more natural to me. But I ABSOLUTELY refuse to make a twitter account. I see no need for it and I don't need one to read tweets from others, like Blizzard or Bashiok.

I don't always burn. But when I do, I use hellfire.

A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
So I'm free to enter contests and NOT get bothered. win / win
Other that that, Never used any of the silly popular social networking things.
