Being a Twit on Twitter, A Farce on Facebook, A Loon on LinkedIn and a Moron on MySpace.
"Kevin Kemperer is doin’ Brittany in the hot tub."
Sadly the only thing fictional about the sentence prior, pulled from a Facebook status, is the user’s name; Kevin Kemperer. His "doin’ Brittany in the hot tub," whether true or not, was only known to the user who posted the Facebook status and by Brittany.
I have a lot of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace friends. I’m gigged out by digital detente. About one percent of my computerized companions are 3D friends: i.e., people I actually call friends in the real world. An additional quarter of the techno-byte buddies are people I’ve met or worked with on occasion; acquaintances. Leaving the rest of the 74 percent of the thousands who Friend, Link, Space and Tweet me as strangers who I only know of by their statuses that stream by in a flood on my laptop screen.
