People like social network but they ar not really social so why?

Some people joined social networking site for a lot of reasons. Others joined for money, for entertainment by meeting new friends or because they really liked the site and found it useful to them.

Hi tony, I belong to a few social networks and love to visit all of them say hello to all my friends and be active there too, sometimes it is hard to do that as there are other things in the home I have to do yet in the evening I always am on here catching up with whomever I can...LoLo

I think alot of people join because other people talk them into it. Alot of people do not have the time to go to them and spend their time there. Some people would rather talk to someone in person also.

I guess joining an internet social network site is the same as joining most clubs. Unless you're active and looking for new contacts, then you will just sit in the corner doing nothing. The advantage of an internet social network is that you can hide your real identity if you choose to, you'll also meet far more people with similar interests as yourself. But at the end of the day, it just depends how much you want to be involved.

I joined Face book and so did alot of my friends.I have also got back into contact with alot of old school friends and have met up again after over 20 years.I arrange what time,where and when to meet up with friends for a social chat and a drink,i find it very handy.I am a social person where as alot of people i know join social network and never go on it again which i think what was the point of joining it to begin with.Happy mylotting.

I'm a sociable person. My main reason of joining these networking sites because most of my friends have these sites too, and because its fun :)

Well, I am not social in the truest sense of the term…I rarely go out and meet people and am most happy relaxing at home after a hard day’s work. But here I am at mylot which, according to me, is the best social network site I have come across. I divide social network sites into two groups…one where people just ‘chat’…no purpose, no constructive interchange of ideas, absolute crap and juvenile interactions…I run a mile from these. And then there is mylot and I’m sure other similar sites where people can genuinely socialize in the relative comforts of their home. Its relaxing, its free, its private and its fun…you don’t need to go out, spend tons at expensive malls or cinema halls or neglect your home and family…what better socializing could I want?

I am a member of Friendster and Facebook. The reason why I joined this social network sites is to find and reconnect with long lost friends and classmates from the past. I am a very sociable person, I make friends everyday whether at work or in the mall so I am not looking to meet new friends anymore as I have a lot of friends now. Good friends are hard to find and I keep them. My bf is also in my Facebook.

hmmm I don't have couple social network account, currently I only have facebook and mylot if mylot is considered as social network, even though, I only use facebook for the little sully quizzes or posting the photos sometimes and I only posting on mylot, never talked to anybody like private email. In real life, I'm not socialable either, if somebody that I know comes talk to me, I talk, otherwise, I don't act actively to talk to people.

people like social network but they are really social so why?it as a nature or basic instinct of every person to get into socialization.it is not a matter of who you are in the society or regardless of social status,it is inherent and natural feelings of people to go social netwaorks or social mingling with others.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with social networking. I've been on MySpace, MyYearbook, Friendster, Fubar, and Yuwie. None of them have really been what I expected. I did not really make new friends... or reunite with lost friends and classmated... etc etc. Generally what I found was people who wanted me to spend my time to boost there popularity... give them virtual personal gifts, etc. I miss the old days when Internet Relay Chat was the IN thing. At least then people TALKED to each other.

I have a myspace and facebook. I only use my myspace and no I am not very social, but when people put up their status and say something I feel like commenting on I do so. I like to be in the loop I guess. lol

They join social networking site and and are not social, because maybe they are too busy with their lives, or maybe they are here for business and spamming, or maybe they are too shy/introvert(which is why u are thinking they r rude) or they are interested in doing anti-social activities(Lolz) or they are Goths,punks, emos and they like to add people only of their type, or they are here only to keep in touch with people they know. I don't go to any social networking site. MyLot is the best thing for me. Here everybody is very friendly and you don't have to hear anything bad, which happens in other sites.

i see where you are coming from. you almost got the right questions. most people today are more social online than in-person. the reason is technology. most people on social networking groups are comfortable typing than actually talking. think about it this way. how many people does it take to type on the computer? 1. how many people does it take to have a conversation? 2 or more.

I tried out the facebook thing and thought that it was silly. All these people that never talked to me in real life adding me to their facebook lists and never bothering with me on there either. Social networking is not for me at all. I rather the phone thanks, or better yet come over for coffee. I do have msn which I have used a little bit, but I would not get involved with another social network as I don't think they are social at all. I chat more with strangers on Mylot than I do people I really know in life sometimes. Silly craze if you ask me.

I have accounts on myspace and twitter. I think these kinds of sites are so popular because it allows you to be whoever you want to be. When you set up a profile, you don't HAVE to use your real name and info- you can make up a character you'd like to be, and just make people think you're someone else.

I use a social networking program called Myspace. For me, I keep in contact with people I do know, that is friends I've known for years, my family, relatives who know me and I know well. That is why I join for social networking purposes. When I join groups of various types according to my interest I can associate and socialize with people on those forums. You have to realize that when people start adding hundreds and thousands of people on a social network obviously they are not going to socializes with that big of a number. People who you don't know or never met of course there will be less socializing. However, it takes one to know one, that's if you do want to know a person, then that's where socializing comes in. If that person doesn't socialize with you then that person is either not interested or doesn't have to time to socialize. And so that you know I am a socializing person.

My favorite social network is Facebook. It allows me to keep in touch with friends from school who live in different cities now. When it first came out, my friends and I were on constantly, posting pictures and writing on each others' pages, but it became too time consuming to be on there all the time. But it is really good, as it posts updates from your friends right on your homepage, so you don't have to go searching for what's new. Their updates are all shown to you when you sign in, so it makes it easy to comment and keep in touch.
