Social networking is a rapidly growing, attention-seeking trend that screams “look at me; see what I have to say about myself and the world as I see it”. As narcissistic as it may seem, but people warm up to the idea very quickly. As humans, no matter what kind of human you are – are highly likely to be interested with what other people do in their lives. It is because everyone wants a reference; a benchmark; an example to follow. No matter how we may like to disdain the idea, the very bulk of us are always followers rather than leaders.
Blogs that shout "Hey look! My life is much better than yours!"
Twits that tweet "My brand of toothpaste tastes much nicer than yours!"
Facebook accounts that show "My social life's more happening than yours!"
In the end, we stomach it, look up and evaluate ourselves, and try our best to follow what other people portray of themselves.
Lemmings. Sheep. We are all just that.
