Vegetarian Meat-Space

OK, this is a gross, ill-considered generalisation but, it occurred to me that it was ironic / odd that geeks who are not generally known for their outgoing social behaviour, indeed, they're generally known as being more introverted than 'normal' - flock to ASN's like Friendster & Orkut.

ASN's are like vegetarian sausages in that they both attempt to mimic the real thing and both leave you feeling unfulfilled and with a strange taste in the mouth.
