I don't get any of these sites either. Sometimes QBN feels a bit like a social networking site, but at least there is valuable information and resources for the design community here.
Just having a cell phone for me sometimes feels like a huge burden, because anyone can get ahold of me at anytime. These social networking sites take that to the next level, and now people can even know what you are doing at any given time. It's one thing to share your very personal thoughts with trusted friends, but plastering them all over the internet seems like a mistake to me. I signed up for Facebook sometime ago, but I never use it. Personally, it kind of freaks me out to think what some of these sites could do with the vast ammounts of personal information they now hold on millions of people.

What do you think the Nazis would have achieved with access to such information? They would've rounded up the queers and jews with frightening efficiency.
You've got to wonder what a modern day corrupt government could ascertain about your life and personal relationships from these places...

Not to mention insurance companies. I'll bet they're already checking to see if you're a member of "defy the smoking ban" or whatever...

I try to keep it as less personal as possible (you don't want to know when I have a BLT wrap). But I find it interesting if it's used for sharing new discoveries (links, games, sources, videos...) and to discuss about them. Also, an most importantly, to share new personal work, or even WIP.
