I am not on facebook or twitter but my other half is on twitter.I heard an interesting theory that things like Facebook and Twitter are like games -

Yes I agree.I don't have either - I find you really know who your friends are
People always say 'I have 500+ friends on Facebook!'
So? When was the last time you met them and had lunch and a real conversation??
