Sometimes I feel like an old man at the age of twenty!

Recently, I have noticed the increasing pressure to join new social networking sites from my friends, I found the social transition into Facebook pretty overwhelming at times; witnessing my social village literally take form before my eyes was little overwhelming. But now, with the new websites coming in by the truck loads I don't know what to do with myself.
Instagram? Wait aren't there already pictures on Facebook? Why do I need a cite specifically focused on pictures?  Ultimately the only difference is that you can put filters on the pictures to give them a different feel? 'But Will, don't you like the idea of being a photographer?' No, I don't care if sepia makes people look more tan or sunsets more majestic. 'Will, girls really like Instagram'.
....Ok I might give it a try.
When trying to figure out if social networking cites are hot or cold media, I came to the conclusion that it can be both. Lets look at Vine for an example, Vine is a social media cite that is focused around sending short video clips that compile one large video that you send out to your friends. In the right hands vine can be a hot media meaning that you can use a lot of involvement and make creative stop motion movies that are very creative and involve a considerable amount of imagination, but in the wrong hands it can be very cold. When you what a video that has four clips, all of which are impossible to even tell what is going on it takes the involvement way down and makes it a type of media that i really want no part in.
I just hope that with all this new technology that is coming in I dont get left behind, but if I do just prepare to receive letters from me that are written in ink and delivered by pigeons.
