It is hard to deny that most, if not all, are on sites like Twitter or Facebook. I dodged twitter so far but I am on Facebook.
All this social networking is starting to annoy me and I guess I am wondering if it is just me
Over the last year or two, wherever you go, you are asked to like this, follow that and share the lot.
As a result, the more friends you got (I for one only have friends on Facebook I actually know), the more you get bombarded with adverts, suggested posts or pages.
Especially if a friend 'liked' some random page offering free stuff for of doing so.
Just yesterday, 7 out of the last ten posts were suggested nonsense. On the phone they are usually almost full page.
I am now at the point where I say 'enough is enough'. Personally I think it is getting too much. People complain about agencies snooping around your details, yet they post all sorts of personal information publicly on social networking pages.
Back in the day you were worried about someone stealing your identity. Surely now it is easier than ever before.
Assuming someone fills out every little detail sites like Facebook asks you to, put all your details on LinkedIn, you are likely to be able to know everything about a certain individual.
Where that person is born, went to school, the whole resume, date of birth, relatives and the list goes on.
How can people be afraid of people stealing your details if you give them to the whole world willingly?
Mmmmm. What's the point of this post now you ask? I presume it's a little bit of a rant but I am more interested really if I am the only one who thinks that this is getting too much?
I already uninstalled twitter and Facebook and don't intend to go back (you can't even easily close your account).
How about you?
