Browsing social networks seem uncool, but browsing a newspaper doesn't
Some people think that social networks are uncool, that is, it's not cool to hang out or use social networks regularly. Who are these guys? those who keep saying "I don't have time for facebook/twitter", "I am trying to give up facebook/twitter", or those who tell others (with a very negative connotation) things like, "I think you are always on Facebook".
May be social networks are uncool. I am not trying to change anyone's mindset. That's one's choice. But let me take a wild guess, most of them don't consider reading a newspaper for 30 minutes uncool. Essentially, it's the news feeds we are talking about (it's a lot more than that, but when you want to compare newspapers to social networks, "news feeds" is the one main feature). If you think news feeds are irrelevant, then both newspaper and Facebook are irrelevant. But again, you read newspaper regularly, but you say social networks are irrelevant, funny eh!
Either you are not using social networks properly or you are being biased about social networks.
My personal view is that we can stop reading the newspaper and get all the news from our social networks. Why change? because newspapers doesn't allow commenting (a.k.a other perspectives). That's a simple and the best reason to switch. (And, of course, there are a million other things that makes social networks cooler than newspaper).
PS: By the way, everyone uses social networks but sill some of us think that it's uncool.
