Social media

This Facebook status update from one of my old junior high school friends captures a major part of the craze for Twitter posts and Facebook status updates:

"twitter is the new karaoke, in love with the sound of one's own voice. excuse me while I fascinate myself."

And this, from a college classmate, has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious updates I've seen so far:

"X.Y. is going to her monthly 'eyelash extention' appointment, then to her pelvis excercise class tonight followed by a light dinner at home."

Think of all the things we're learning about people that we otherwise would probably never know.
