And I was hunting around and there wasn't really anybody I knew on there, other than the kindly folk who invited me, as opposed to friendster where back in that spring of 2003 it seemed like pretty much everybody I had ever met was already there. Here it was all young people. It scared me. But I'm not sure if more people my age will sign up.<BR/><BR/>I also was thinking about where the boundary line between a social networking site and just the internet per se is. I mean, here we are on blogger and we have little profiles that we could deck out with pictures and our friends can check in and link to us and things. Also I can google people's names,just like I can search on myspace or friendster or anything. You know, the way I think about it, the world is just one giant social networking site.Captain Colossalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713053731307487088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392162987997980937.post-71295364984564762002007-08-31T08:28:00.000-07:002007-08-31T08:28:00.000-07:00In the spirit of the post I tried to google K.

Actually that is more likely.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious what will happen with social networking sites and the generation gaps. I'm 40; no one I know my age has a page on any social networking site - at least, not that I know of. But the 20-year olds I know, it's like their whole life.<BR/><BR/>Are young people going to become less interested as they get older? Are older people going to sign up? Or will there be forever this generation gap: born after 198X, you're into it, born before, you're not?<BR/><BR/>And Captain C, are you right on the boundary line, generation-wise?
