I barely have time for myself, let alone the hundreds of people who want to poke me, sell me, or whatever the hell they do at these places. They intrigue me, at least the concept does, but at the same time I’m repulsed. Let’s face it, my blog may have butterflies on it, but a social butterfly I am not. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of friends, and in the right crowd I can be the life of the party, but that just doesn’t happen very often.

So, that got me to thinking, they should have anti-social networks, where people would just leave you the hell alone. I thought that was such a clever idea, but apparently it’s been done before: Isolatr, Snubster, and the like. It’ll be interesting to see how those sites do. Most likely, they won’t do as well as the social sites. Humans are very social animals. We’ll have to wait and see how this all pans out.
