I think my view point is a rarity, but I really don't give a crap about social networking (I did have a FB account until last year). I can't say my life was any better because of it, and as the article points out, it can be a huge time waster. And although I can trust institutions, I don't trust corporations. I'm not saying FB is any worse than any other, but the idea that we're getting something for free is just plain false. They use our data for profit and I choose not to participate for that reason.
