Junk science.

Well me is not. It seems like a hell of a lot of work to get people to pay attention to you. Since I usually prefer to be left alone, it seems like I may be wired to avoid social networking.

Story - an HR lady said I would have a better chance of getting a job if I reactivated and updated my linkedin account. I did not and still got a job. So I proved to myself that I don't even need work oriented social networking to get by.
Yall have fun making all those electronic temporary friends.

Oh my proofreading skills suck. I meant : It's not for me.

I know I'm not hard wired for it. I haven't a clue what to do with my Facebook account. Seems to me like a lot of people with absolutely nothing to say making comments about the utterly common, unmemorable, day to day stuff they do. Obviously a lot of people get some kind of pleasure out of knowing every move their friends, relatives, and random people make, but for me it seems both creepily invasive, and also boring as shiat.

There were zero participants that didn't have any Facebook friends. All test subjects were taken as volunteers from University College London (a highly social school in a liberal metropolis setting), with a mean age of 23.3.

Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't seem like a very random sampling, even with 125 subjects. Could it be concluded in general that people with no Facebook friends have the lowest grey matter density in the areas they studied? I'd be highly skeptical of that conclusion.

There could also easily be an external force at work here, like students at that particular school being required to have Facebook for certain classes or activities, which has nothing to do with the subjects actually being friends or even knowing one another.

Bogus study.
