A couple of years ago, you weren’t hip and with-it if you dind’t have a Facebook or My Space account. So naturally, I got one for myself. I loved it – couldn’t get enough of it – for a few days. Then I forgot about it. I still get Facebook-related emails – will-you-be-my-friend types of messages. I ignore them. Every few months I go into my site, race through the Inbox responding to queries, and exit as fast as I can. Life’s too short. As for Twitter, when that got big I felt un-hip and non-with-it and was poised to sign up – when I remembered Facebook. Why Twitter if I can’t even be bothered to Facebook? Oddly, someone seems to have signed me up to Twitter and every so often I receive an email from a friend or colleague saying they’re “following” me on Twitter. Maybe so. But I’m not Twittering at them. Today, these and other social networking sites have suffered temporary outages. Frumpy throwback that I am, I couldn’t care less. Actually, I’m delighted – if it means my 13-year-old daughter might read a book rather than pinching or poking her pals via Facebook.

Twitter is easier to use, and more flexible, thus better, than Facebook.
