Staying Connected on the Internet

First I can't believe that its been almost 6months since I came on here. It must be my very busy life.......

Anyway I got an email the other day telling me that I should update my profile on HI5. I don't remember ever going on there but I hit the link and go have a look see. Yep it was one of those online communities I signed up for back last Oct.
Leslie (Superweezie) who I used to work with got me to sign up. I've never been back since. I looked around a see that my one niece and a friend have requested that I accept them into my network. They must think me a jerk because I haven't done anything and they both asked back in November.
So what are these online Commuities. Myspace.com, Yahoo 360. HI5.com, Connexion.org. Yep I'm on them all. There may be more but I've forgotten them.
I've done a search for my area and the same people come up in each one. I also noticed that the average life of a member is about two months and the they move on to the next big thing.
I pretty sure that I wouldn't join any of these if it wasn't for someone going "its fun you have to join". At 41 it isn't that much fun to see a bunch of kids misspell words in their messages as they try to hook up or tell about their lastest conquest/beer bash...I'm getting old I know it.
If you see me in cyberspace stop by and say hi. I may read it in four or five months.
