Stage 4 clinger

Was anyone else surprised when they logged into blogger.com and the entire layout was changed? Naturally, I'm not in the mood to navigate through this new layout and setup to try to figure everything out. I'm sure once I get the hang of it, it'll be great, but for now it's annoying. -_-

Blogger wants us to connect with Google+...what a surprise! It seems that lately all the networking and social media sites are combining and pretty soon they're all going to be connected. This got me thinking - what's the difference between all these social networking sites and why do we have 400 accounts? What do we use everything for?

I broke it down into the most popular ones to try to figure out why I feel the need to keep an account and update/read/post regularly. What's every websites mission for its users?

Facebook: The giant King Kong of social networking. They did it right. While MySpace was popular as well, Facebook took over with its simple(r) layout and with its more professional/college users (usually...sometimes...when it first came out). Now it's used mostly for people to post pictures, keep in touch with high school friends and stalk others.

Twitter: It became popular not too long after Facebook, and while I was against it at first because I didn't see a purpose in it, I now love it. It's a great way to constantly let everyone know what you're thinking/doing/watching/wanting to do without being that annoying Facebook user updating their status all the time. And of course, it's still a great way to stalk friends, enemies and celebrities.

Tumblr: I never really caught onto the Tumblr trend. I feel like it's a lot of people sharing the same million pictures and quotes with one another. Not very useful for stalking.

Instagram: So happy there is finally an Android app for this lovely picture sharing program. I love the hipster filters that automatically make everyone believe they are a photographer. I love that for the most part, people share original pictures, and I love being able to actually see what others are doing/eating/watching/seeing, and not just read about it. Why Facebook bought it, I don't know. Also useful for feeling like you're close to celebrity crushes. Nice for stalking.

Foursquare: Never quite got into this one either, but I assume it's excellent for stalking. Who doesn't want to let everyone know where they are all the time?

What networking and social media sites do you guys use the most? For what? And what celebrity crush are you stalking? :]
