I've no interest in Twitter but I use Facebook and social networking can be very useful.
I'm very picky about who I add as a 'friend' and I don't bother with the games etc Half my family live overseas and since leaving the RAF so now do most of my friends and former colleagues so Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with them without having to rack up a huge phone bill.
I also know that after the Christchurch and Japan earthquakes when landlines and mobile networks were out some on here managed to find out that reletives and friends were safe via Facebook.
It's all down to how people use the sites...not everyone on them is a mindless idiot...just as not everyone on here is or anywhere else for that matter
