Social Media websites are everywhere, and becoming more more frequently used by the minute. Personally, I don't really check social media sites on the computer. The ones I know about are Perez Hilton, and one called WonderWall. I sometimes read WonderWall because when i log on to MSN, they have some celebrity updates, and the link takes you to the WonderWall site. I never read Perez Hilton, and I don't really know what Twitter is, but I do know that John Mayer is a HUGE fan of it, because I'm always reading in the magazines that he has "trashed" another girlfriend, or made some obscene comment on his blog. I think that these sites are a great way to keep up with what is going on in the world with celebrities and other people, but I do feel like it is something to do when one wants to escape from the realities of everyday life for the average person. I can relate to spending crazy long hours at work, wishing I could be someone else at that very moment. "Oh, I wonder what it is that Angelina Jolie is doing at this moment, whatever it is, I am SURE it is so much more exciting than what I am doing right now." For moments like that, I can understand why someone would want to read about what the rich and famous have going on during a Monday afternoon. For those who wish to escape from their lives for just a moment, these social networking sites are exactly the place to go to.
