Why are social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter bad?

[Jenna]

They're not bad. Personally, I liked the idea that they were invented. Communicating was made easier. It's just a matter of how addicted you are into using these sites, like for example, you know you have to review for a quiz tomorrow, and yet you chose to play your favorite application or check out what your fave celebrities have recently tweeted. Personally, I just use twitter to express whatever I feel like saying at the moment, and yes, to be in the know of other's thoughts. Facebook is more of an online photo album, an avenue to post event (no more written invitations for practicality reasons), keeping in touch with old pals, and so much more. These sites make life more enjoyable and easy, but we just have to strike a balance between being friendly in person and not forgetting that being sociable is NOT limited in Facebook. My friends and I still make it a point to out after final exams and not just keep in touch through Facebook. I hope you get what I mean hehehe
