I began my short investigation using one of my friends as a sort of hub. I began to pick up on some patterns. First of all people seem to be quite concerned with the aesthetics of their page. 90% of the pages I looked at had highly customized layouts, one was nearly impossible to read, selecting style over substance in a literal way. People also would all go quite over the top when presenting themselves. There is nothing wrong with selling yourself, but not everyone can be a "super-hero" or "totally kick ass" that just defies logic. The most modest I found was "generally awesome." Such obtrusive hubris is perhaps what annoys me the most about social networking sites.
Thus ends my post of grievances.
