But what if you don't know a product exists? How would you know to look for it? How would the seller get the word out? Advertising serves a roll in a capitalist society. It's just part of the deal.
Also, the craft I saw was on the news video taped by over Sonora California, it was also spotted in England, France, Russia... video taped by multiple people in every location. Check youtube.
It's probably the most "real" UFO ever documented. I assumed it was a gov test craft of some sort. I just assumed technology was already there. But now, 2008, people we are just now funding research into this? Makes you wonder.
So the Black Triangular plane thing that I saw hover over my campsite in Arizona (back in '94) and which was dead silent even as it shot off to the horizon at a crazy speed wasn't a government aircraft? Then what was is... Xenu?
This proves nothing in terms of the overall concept of a "G-d" starting it all. Sure maybe it refutes the Judeo-Christian version of the story... but science/dinosaur bones did that a long time ago.
I guess if you are completely happy in your smug IT job and have no ambition of going anywhere else or doing anything else then social networking may seem pointless. Rock on angry IT guy!
I'm hearing a lot of "hating" going on but I think it's mainly due to misunderstanding.
Twitter is not "just broadcast instant messaging for the ADD crowd" or "taking social networking to a pathetic extreme".
Twitter is useful. I've found work, I've found contractors, I've found new music, I've found new web apps, I've gotten breaking news before major outlets, I've crowdsourced for opinions when making purchases, I've met new people, discovered new restaurants, and I've used it as a personalized 411 in any number of situations.
I suppose if you and your 3 friends join and just post messages about when you're taking a dump then it's pretty useless. But if you use tools like twittermap.com (http://twittermap.com/maps) to find local people then you can get information about road closings, weather conditions, and other relevant local info. And the situations are endless where it comes in handy to have a local support network of people you are in touch with.
And aside from the local network benefits, you have a real good chance of communicating/networking with some major players/influencers like VC's, A-list bloggers, politicians, celebrities, company founders, etc, etc...
So, if you don't like information, new music, or web technology then don't use twitter. Meanwhile, I'll continue with listening to some cool muxtapes (http://muxtape.com) I discovered through twitter recommendations.
The problem I see is that search engines use links to determine and provide relevant search results. If everyone starts using TinyURLs then the main ingredient for a relevant search return could be lost.

He built his website using frames? PhD student, composer, musician & computer programmer he may be - Search Engine savvy web developer he is not.
Yeah, and I bet it was me getting high that created a triangular craft to be video taped by many people over Phoenix too. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_(UFO)#Phoenix_Lights_Incident
