One of the reasons I’m in all this social networking stuff is that I find it hard to understand and grasp the meaning of it. OK, I do understand practicality of it, like finding contacts, jobs, etc. What I am failing on is to completely understand the remaining bit of it. Self exposure, communications, chats and so on, that still OK, I get it… What I was really not getting is the “my current status” type communication.

Just recently I found a very interesting article, that pretty much explains the mechanics behind. It all starts to fit together, so for those of you who, as I did, fail to grasp the meaning of “exhaust data”, have a read.
