What am I giving up simply by being on Facebook? The only thing social networking is selling is its audience; they are selling my page views to the advertisers. And since your comment was a troll in the first place, I'll go on to say that you obviously don't understand the point of social networking. Sure maybe some people get off on having the most friends or joining the most clubs or whatever, but they're going to do that sort of thing whether or not there are online sites for it. I don't think that anyone confuses online social networking with real-life face to face social networking, AKA making friends, chilling out, or doing any of the endless activities that people do together. Except you. @Vonskippy
