Yeah, they probably do…

Back in the before times people would keep up with their “Social Networks” by running into them at parties or whatever and “Update their Status”. Sometimes people would even “PM” each other over dinner and drinks outside of these “Group Chats”.

Hard to believe, I know, but somehow the human race managed to keep going.

If so then they got it from some one else outside the network because it never appears in my conversations and I use the networks exclusively via a web browser.
