				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I subscribed to Facebook a couple of weeks ago and I found it exciting because I could find some University peers, family members in the US, former colleagues and so on but now I wonder: what to do now?</p>
<p>I spent some days at &#8220;building relationships&#8221; trying to find all persons I could by searching, inviting,asking friends, I&#8217;ve also joined a couple of communities but now I&#8217;m stuck, don&#8217;t know what to do next!</p>
<p>I still remember the days in which I started surfing the web on Mosaic, Yahoo and so on&#8230;I went to bed with my mind working at incredible speeds. I was astonished at thinking how many opportunities I had from that moment on: I could have news about my favorite band (U2!!!) without the need of buying newspapers, I could chat to someone on the other side of the world, I could have tech manuals at a glance and so on &#8230; my mind couldn&#8217;t stop thinking on the possibilities.</p>
<p>In the last months I&#8217;ve tried these new &#8220;hypes&#8221; on the net such as SecondLife and Facebook in the end what they gave me was just an initial excitement, they &#8220;pumped up&#8221; my  curiosity for a couple of days but after that all became boring, not interesting anymore because they are not real &#8220;a step forward&#8221; stuff.</p>
<p>Is this due to my mind or simply we are so much flooded of new things everyday that suddenly our attention looses its way?</p>
