That&#8217;s cool. I have also been making some time to help this social networking site jump the shark. Everybody needs the chance to rub virtual elbows with &#8220;friends&#8221; you otherwise wouldn&#8217;t have made the effort to stay in touch with, as proven by the fact that before Facebook you had not been in touch with them for the past 5 to 10 years. <\/p>\n<p>I know, too, that there&#8217;s a desire to allow various &#8220;apps&#8221; into our web-interactive lives to enable us to share personal details with friends, such as our <strong>5 Movies That Shaped My Breakfast Choice This Morning<\/strong> and our <strong>5 Movies That We Thought About While Taking a Dump Later in the Afternoon<\/strong>. Some of the apps are pretty cool, allowing us to easily embed album cover or DVD box images into our lists. It&#8217;s not so easy to do things like that in the Halls of Rock, and beside, Mr. DogModic himself frowns on the posting of too many lists without supporting thoughts. He thinks we can do more than that. He thinks we should provide each other opportunities for disagreements, tangents, and the like. Shoot, this place doesn&#8217;t even allow us the option of clicking on a little &#8220;thumb&#8217;s up&#8221; icon. <em>WTF?!?!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Do not despair: I hear you, Facebook-inquisitive Townspeople! As focused and unwavering as you may think I am in encouraging us to meet the objectives of Rock Town Hall, I&#8217;m a bigger and baser man than that. I don&#8217;t want you wasting your hard-earned blow-off time on other sites when you could be here, not only rubbing virtual elbows with knowledgeable, interesting, humorous rock nerds but <em>skinning<\/em> virtual knees and elbows as you dive for the loose balls of rock criticism! In this bigger and baser spirit, I offer you Rock Town Hall&#8217;s first quiz, the <em>What Townsperson Are You?<\/em> quiz.
