Best one in weeks.

They’re really talking about sex, right?

I know they’re talking about Facebook, twitter and the like, it’s just weird because I like Facebook and all, but I miss sending letters and postcards to friends, even talking to them on the phone. Makes me worry we’re going towards that awful Bruce Willis movie “Surrogates” kind of future…>.<

It’s even easier to ignore people these days by not involving yourself in social media at all. . .

i agree with oliver

I also agree with Oliver, and not just because we have the same name.
This is an exact description of my feelings on facebook, which i started using because no-one i know uses live chat anymore. It’s sad to say it, but now i’ve started making new friends who i talk to in the real world (and adding them to facebook)

Twitter away
I never felt old
until I was told
email was passe’

This is my exact frustration with social networking sites. I’ve refused to be a part of them entirely and apparently that makes me more unnoticable in the world?

Fine with me. I’m a stubborn curmudgeon.

Does anyone remember laughter?

WHAT?

idkrash, laughter is what happened when someone wrote his part in an E-Mail dialog in a way he knew only you would find funny. Back when people were not too lazy to use E-Mail.

pff, social networking… all my friends – my one friend – my cat just reads my thoughts anyway.

saying the letters “LOL” instead of laughing or saying them AND laughing is reprehensible behavior

I like the idea that we are all so self important that mass status updates are deemed necessary

…and I just thought my friends were just really busy *sniff*

What are you doing right now?

Nny is JAM ON!

Recently have become a heavy Twitter user and blogger. Side effect of unemployment. Have learned my way around and like the scene. I’m 54 years old and this reminds me of the fast and crazy days many years ago when I discovered computers. Here we go again.
Follow me at @LPGeffen and you will be entertained.

Ooh! Paul, you make me feel just like Ruth.

The sad paradox of mass communication on the internet…

so you guys really think you’d be collaborating on what this comic implies like this via email?

or maybe you could all get together in person, look at comics and talk about them. no wait, they still have conventions.

but, it’s not like this is going to result in more people meeting to see dorothy at conventions… wait yeah it is.

the biggest problem with sites lke twitter is that people sit around thumbing messages slowly into into their phone. it’s debateably better than hearing annoying people on cell phones.

And the moral of the story is… twitter and facebook suck ass. ICQ and LiveJournal in Russia are the best!

The people who do a lot of updating on facebook are the people who have time to update facebook — we did facebook until we had a kid, and now we communicate by phone.

I don’t mind sending and receiving letters. Sometimes you have to. Like when you want to complain about a company.

But there’s always delays. And problems. And it rained so your letter got soaked and ended up a mass of paper pulp inside the letterbox.
Facebook is immune to rain or crashing postal trucks…until it goes down anyway. Twitter too. You might get lucky with email but sometimes that likes to play funny buggers too.
That’s why we invented phones. They’re great, until someone drives their car into the exchange box.
I do multiple methods. Email, then Facebook, then Twitter if they have it, and if there’s no reply within a day then I call. Sooner or later I’ll get hold of the person.
