USA Today Quotes Me in Social Networking Article, Gets It (Mostly) Right - USATODAY.com [Quote]
Another frequent complaint from social networkers is that the variety of sites is overwhelming. Joe Ross recently used Web 2.0 Suicide Machine to wipe out his existence on MySpace, because he felt the site was getting too commercial.
"It was very cool to watch," says Ross, 26, a law student who works for the Philadelphia Housing Authority. But don't write him off the scene yet.
"I'm still on Facebook, and I'm a heavy Twitter user and blogger," he says. "Most of the people I'm friends with are people I wouldn't know if it weren't for social networking."
What I think I actually said was "Most of the people I'm friends with ON SOCIAL NETWORKS are people I wouldn't know if it weren't for social networking."
But still, it's pretty cool to be quoted in a newspaper.
