So while I'm on the subject:
Social networking trends I don't much like:
- Personal blogs that carry ads between posts.*
- Calling your social networking followers your "tweeple." (OK, I liked it for about 3 days.)
- Self-congratulatory Facebook updates.
- Mom blogs that are actually about pushing product.
- Flickr's latest homepage layout, especially as a paying member.
- Facebook apps that are covers for crappy ads.
- LinkedIn self-inflation self-importance.
- Widgets that won't work.
- Bit.lys, TinyURLs, is.gds, blip.fms, etc.
- A list like this at the end of every post:
Addthis
Ask
Blinklist
del.icio.us
Digg
Fark
Facebook
Google
Lycos
Ma.gnolia
Mr Wong
Netscape
Netvousz
Newsvine
Reddit
StumbleUpon
Slashdot
Tailrank
Technorati
Wink
Yahoo
*I defend your right to include whatever you want on your blog. I just don't like ads in the middle.
