Really? This is really that much of a problem for people? I'm a developer/techie person/nerd same as everyone else here and I just could never understand the whole Facebook/Twitter thing. If I do use it it's basically to talk to myself and just as a tool for self-expression (which is why I created http://writeapp.me for myself). I never much did or enjoyed talking with others on Facebook and could never quite make any connections with Twitter folks (Twitter just moves way too fast for me). Why is it that once you're done communicating with whoever you can't just leave it? I'm honestly asking. To me, this sort of thing is as mysterious and foreign as video game addiction. I just don't get it and I feel kind of odd that I don't which is weird. It's almost like you're not normal unless you can't stop using social media.
