h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

your secret?
I mean, really, is it your smell that attracts newbies like honey attracts bees?

In case you wondered, I yikesed the asl post, it wasn't the only one of that sort this person left here on hootoo. If you hadn't replied to it, it would have just vanished. I haven't heard back from the mnods yet, though.

I guess it must be my natural charm, grace and wit... seriously, though I have no idea! It's a bit wierd, but they're all friendly enough and then never trouble me again.

Oh well, if you think opening an account on a website like this and immediately going and leaving posts like the one I yikesed is just being friendly

Well apart from that one... hence my rather sharp response. The rest are nice enough, though they obviously twig quite quickly that if they're just after 'social networking' Hootoo ain't the place to be.

Well, I wouldn't say that, hootoo offers quite a lot of social networking, but it takes some time to get acquainted before it works. I think it's weird, I mean, you wouldn't enter a room full of strangers, picking one at random and asking if he/she wanted to be your friend, would you?

Well, I mean 'social networking' of the type offered by Facebook and MySpace... the sort that relys upon approaching strangers and asking to be friends with them.

I don't know about Facebook, and Myspace is a horrible place - I guess I'm just too old for this sort of websites.

Yeah, I started a MySpace account a while back and left because I kept getting inundated by random people.

Erm-didn't you just tell me that that's exactly the purpose of Myspace?

Well yes, but I discovered that purpose the hard way.

Well, I was put off by the adverts and the many photos of bare naked girls which were displayed, to be honest. I didn't stay long enough to make similar experiences to yours.
