Social Networking good for your mental health

[freeringo]

A medical journal reported this week that social networking
is good for our mental health.
They state that we get a greater life satisfaction from being part of a larger group. They also claim that it can reduce the risk of health problems.
Also noted was better memory retention, stroke recovery and the overall sense on well being.

That's all I needed to hear.
Let's socialize.

NDN, and facebook makes me feel like I am a part of something. The first two things I open up when I get on the computer in the morning, oh and my e-mail too of course. Its always fun to interact with other people via internet. Its convenient almost like text messaging but you can do so much on the internet nowadays especially if you have an application on the phone.

I found that networking keeps me busy and lets me stay out of trouble.

...... wow. Im sure that article wasnt written by someone with a bias towards social networking sites :-p. I think there was also a study about people leaving their homes and interacting in real world environments; they tended to be healthier, have a better state of mind, and good dispositions
:-p.

I'm trying to be more cute than a jerk, i hope u see my playfullness :-). Everything has positive and negative affects, ya know. Ya can make anything up. Like, "social networking sites dehumanizes its users, and weakens the intangible social bond of one person with others, replacing it with a persons interaction with a computer."
Just dont believe everything you read. Often people omit information that is important, but doesnt help their arguement. Make sure u know when someones bluffin :-)

I got Facebook last week and got so many lost family contacts, I can't keep up with it all yet.
Omax reminds me of the cute little devil and angel on your shoulder
in movies I've seen.
I shall offer my muffin to them, to fight over.

Tell me how to find you and I'll add you! My profile is set up so only I can add people and they can't find me. But I want to be your Facebook friend!

Hey Ringo, Tay suggested me to add you as a friend on FB so when you get a friend invite from someone you dont know, that would be me. Dont be scared. lol... Same thing happened when I added eejit he didn't know who the heck I was.

Have fun with networking on facebook, its well worth investing some time into.

I got a request the other day and didn't know who it was and denied them.

OOOPs

Contact is being enhanced as we speak
