According to hitwise, social networking numbers are going up as online porn numbers are declining. I doubt it’s because of morality. Most likely, we’re just more narcissistic and spend our days trying to keep our names in everyone else’s newsfeed. It’s a shift from one online addiction to another.

Is this good? The Bible-thumping, right-winger in me is happy to see decreased interest in porn, but addiction is addiction. Just like the church doesn’t address gluttony, are we going to ignore addictions to the web, even PG ones like Facebook? A few have mentioned its negatives, and I must admit that they have a point.

So technically, this is old news. Work must be keeping me busy. I missed an opportunity to blog about Facebook last week!
