A Clouded Vision

Social networking has become more popular recently and finally I've succumbed to the pressure from people around me who already did it. I now actively use two social networking sites; Last.fm and Hyves.nl (dutch). I always protested to people inviting me to such sites because I did not want to do what everyone else did. But recently I came to the conclusion that nowadays social networking has become as popular and useful as E-mail, Instant Messaging and such.

Plus, now that I do use it, I actually like it. Especially when wanting to find old friends from your younger years, there's nothing as good as a social networking site. And with over 2 million Dutch people using Hyves (in a total of just over 16 million) you can find almost anyone with ages < 25.

The other social networking-ish site Last.fm is a different kind of networking site because you can find people with similar music taste It has been a great help finding other artists which fit in my own music taste.
