pretty much everyone I know is on facebook. Not exactly sure what you mean by a networking site that "works" but I would guess that facebook works a hell of a lot better than other sites, just because of the sheer number of people signed up. Although the ads get on my nerves and I hate how they compile your interests and stuff to sell to companies that then come back and target you in ads. I dont know about dating sites. I personally don't understand internet dating. You can talk to someone all the live long day and know everything about them and have everything in common with them, but there is no real way of knowing if there is physical attraction until you actually meet the person.
Internet dating is actually really successful, loads of people i know found love and recommend it. i might use it later in life if i'm lonely =D
i met someone once that I talked to all the time on AIM..i dont even know how we started talking, I think he found me on myspace or something. I didn't really meet him with the intention of dating him; we just talked on the internet for over a year and lived in the same town so it made sense to meet. However, everything looked good on paper as far as relationship compatibility. we wanted the same things out of life and had common interests. I saw a few pictures of him and thought he was attractive. But then I met him and there was absolute zero attraction. none. at least on my part..he appearantly was attracted to me and ended up getting really weird afterwards, writing me long emails about how he felt after only meeting me that one time. that was enough to scare me away from the idea of internet dating.
don't send money to anyone, meet them first. ____________________ Call Center Services Philippine Call Center Blog
I used to hear really weird noises when I used to try and actually connect to the internet- I think the internet and my telephone line were getting it on. You were right not to trust it, the dirty little cheat.
I feel like myspace circa 2005 was the best..had kind of an edge to it then and everyone that joined did so with the intention of meeting new people, you know like "social networking" with each other. It is kind of strange how facebook has warped that term to basically mean posting nonsense and chatting with people you already know, finding people that you didn't care much to keep in contact in the past with. I'm kind of waiting for the next incarnation of this idea.
The internet is a good place to get to know people, but for me I need to know them in real life before falling in love with them. I find it silly otherwise.
