To me what changed with Facebook was that the local address book that I had on my phone became a tree in a central graph owned by a company and I was fine giving out that information. Today who could muster up the trust needed for me to let them know about everyone I know? I think no such company exists or ever will.

I have no social internet accounts left except for this one. I even recently deleted my Linkedin account even though that is bad for my career (?). I just don't want to feel raped all the time. I keep getting Linkedin-ish head-hunting emails though but I'm sure that'll clear up in a year or so.

If I'm ever socializing again on the internet, give me something that doesn't rape me in the *. Otherwise I'm fine just socializing IRL.

I hope we are a void and that something new is about to happen.

I’ve never had a LinkedIn account (and have got myself into some sort of internal blacklist) and I’ve never felt disadvantaged career-wise or even been asked if I have an account.

Let me download MSN Messenger. I remember there was a J2ME client for my Nokia 3650.

I honestly miss MSN Messenger. Fond memories.

Maybe even the return of AIM.

ICQ still exists, doesn’t it?

It would be a good time for microsoft to re-release MSN Messenger.

They have. It's called Skype

and it really sucks. just wipe the slate clean with the user base and an msn message relaunch would be very popular.

Not socializing so much is also valid.
