Thing 21: other social networks

I am not a member of any online communities. I looked through almost all of the these and can say that nothing really grabbed me. Even the groups on libraryland. It seemed like just the kind of stuff that I don't enjoy about conferences. I am not a networked. I definitely need information on various things, but querying people or reading their various comments is just not the way that I prefer to gather information. It seems like a big waste of thing and I rarely find anything of value or that is actually informing. I am warming a little to blogs as opinion pieces or even wikis as collections of information. But the social networking seems mostly like water cooler talk to me.
