On a recent trip to LA, Chris Ayers fell foul of LA's latest trend, 'antisocial-networking,' which he describes as "people wanting to give the illusion of staying in touch - while going to great lengths to eliminate the risk of any actual interaction taking place."
He thinks it's a 'symptom' of a 'maxed-out population' that just can't take any more tweets, pokes, messages or nudges,
I wonder if it's just because he didn't pay his bill and couldn't make or receive calls, or that he just doesn't have that many friends.

Dude... I don't know if it's because I'm from LA, but I don't really like keeping in touch. Because I mean really what's the point, I've been keeping up with you via facebook... I don't need to actually talk to you unless I am in the same room as you.
I am also really good at the "let's totally hang out" but "oh wait I can't, sorry I missed you."

Ah, this has made my afternoon. I'm much more comfortable with a healthy dose of anti-social online behaviour than being thrown hugs and kisses and given presents of baby rabbits hatching from eggs and shit on Facecrack. But perhaps that's just the hermit in me.

Hi, you might want to check out our new video, "Public is the New Private," about how social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace have become forums for young people to post their personal business for everyone to see.
