The Frivilous World of Interactive Websites

Well who can deny that we are living in a world where most of our friends are on the web and no longer people who come round for coffee or go out with us to the pub for a drink?
Is it safer to have more virtual friends than real ones? Certainly cheaper when it comes to birthdays and Christmas when all that is required is the odd E-card now and again.
Do we find it easier to reinvent ourselves online rather than face the reality of who we are and what is actually happening in our daily lives......are these websites the perfect escapism and ego boost as all your new friends think you are perfect?

So what are the choices..

WWW.FACEBOOK.COM

The facebook website probably robs millions of employers of productive man hours as people keep up to date with their profiles all day. It becomes a full time job to add all the applications to see 'What vegetable are you?', 'What IQ are you?', What colour are your favourite knickers?'....obviously im an intelligent asparagus wearing black...
You can check the IQ of your car, play scrabble, word games, hug the world, kiss the world, have a profile that makes you look like a porn star and know its a totally ridiculous waste of time but lets face it, your new found friends would hate you if you deleted your profile and they only had 19 friends left and needed 20 to find out their score per application. How could you live with the guilt of denying someone the right to know 'What is your stripper name?'Obviously this is essential for everyday life!
Can you live without a facebook account? My only warning is that if you sign up then book yourself some addiction therapy at the same time...

WWW.WAYN.COM

WAYN stands for Where Are You Know and its a community site to unite travellers around the globe. You subscribe if you want a decent profile but the cost is marginal per year. You upload your travel photos and people have access to your photos and rate them on a scale of one to five while sometimes leaving a comment. Its incredibly easy to use and is a great way of making friends. Not a dating site although the block button comes in handy for all the spammers who try to tell you that you are the perfect woman/man of their dreams, will make the perfect new mother/father for their orphaned child and ofcourse there is just no other prince/princess like you on there...BLOCKED...
You can sit in the comfort of your livingroom with a cuppa and a biscuit and whisk yourself around the world, looking at breathtaking sunsets, ancient monuments, architecture or just funny personal memories captured along someones journey.
Ego boosting...absolutely. People rating your profile pic five and telling you you're fabulous and your pictures are awesome everyday certainly doesnt hurt..pass the next biscuit im off to see Japan by eleven, Istanbul by half past, Prague by dinner time, stop to do some washing, pick the kids up from school and then back to visit Italy, Spain, Peru and Thailand before the hubby comes home wanting his tea....phew its exhausting this travelling malarchy...

WWW.BEBO.COM

Bebo is teenager basic. Its getting slightly more fun now you can link the facebook applications on to your site but nothing to sing and dance about unless you're twelve really. Its a place to gossip. Full stop. Its old school compared to Facebook or My Space yet people still keep going back.
You upload the photos of you making a complete fool of yourself at every party you cant remember going to because you were completely trollied so your friends can laugh at you. Entertainment? Its a race to see who can get the festival photos up first or the facewarp ones that everyone thought was hilarious with sixteen pints in them on saturday night.
If you want to bitch about someone then get a BEBO account. If you have nothing better to do then change your profile header once a week...say "hi mandy hows things with you....havent seen ya for ages"....then get a BEBO account.
If you have no life and no real friends to speak off...then get a BEBO account...
If you are a complete loser....get a BEBO account.
Getting the message....no addiction therapy required and no guilt suffered when the delete profile button is activated.......
Are you sure you want to delete this account forever....YES!!!
