FYI, I’m the winged dude blogging from the tech MVP tailgate party (misnomer), if any of you nerds are in the area.

The point is to connect with people you likely wouldn’t have time (or opportunity) to connect with otherwise. It’s kinda interesting, actually.

Alos, if you happend to attend a school in the current era (as opposed to the Neanderthal era), you might be able to re-connect with old classmates and re-live old times.

What’s the point of talking to your neighbor or watching a sporting event with a friend? It is a way to pass the time and socialize.

I just don’t get these kinds of sites. I mean, they can be fun, but what’s the point?

Of course, I said the same thing about Facebook. Damn you Fred Thompson!!!!!

For the record, I have 3 friends.

I guess I’m going to take part in this new millenium after all.
