I am on facebook but haven't used it in four years.

I must admit to being Overwhelmingly underwhelmed by Facebook.

To say there's something seriously wrong with you if you don't have a FB account is ludicrous.

Just another thing to make me feel like a social leper...I don't drink alcohol I am branded weird...I don't go on social websites so now I am a psychopath. What is the next level above psychopath that I can aspire to?

I actually don't know anyone that uses facebook or twitter.
Lots of famous people use it a lot. I think the size of your following is directly proportional to your ego.

That's a big article of BS. I've just realised that most of my mates and finally maybe potential serial killers. Not to self: do not go watch the latest batman movie with brother.

LOL It all depends on how you use it. If you're networking with other astro/science geeks, it means your getting all the latest news and info from all the big Obs and Space facilities across the globe, posted by the researchers themselves, not by some half wit news journalist.

Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious'
Oh good grief! It must have been a slow news day.

I had a job where staying away from social media was a requirement. (I could tell you about it, but then I'd have to kill you. Hmmm. I guess the article is true, then. ).

So that's what twitter is. Never seen it before. Suppose it could be of some use to some people. Not my cup of tea though.
