It was only a matter of time before a social networking site grabbed hold like this...the basic essence of the internet is connection and sharing. I'm surprised it took so long, honestly. Myspace was a joke.

I wouldn't call it a making statement.
I see it more as being made to feel as an outcast because I don't want one.
I'm always having people haranguing me to get one from friends, relatives, co-workers. Even my boss. As if a phone, email & IM wasn't enough ways to contact me already.
Honest truth is I don't like social networking sites, I think they're more trouble than they are worth. People can go on about 'oh you can set privacy settings' but it's easy to circumnavigate them either deliberately or by accident and I don't really want any of my personal life that easily accessible online.
I'm not making a statement, I'm just not interested in it.
