Many months ago, i was invited to join the social networking site cre8Buzz. I accepted mainly out of interest, as i have always tended to stray away from these sort of services.

Now i’m buzzing off.

Why you ask? Well, after looking objectively at what i was getting out of the site, i concluded that there was simply nothing. Actually, that’s not quite fair so i shall elaborate.

In fact, i’m not quite sure what i’m meant to be getting out of it. Perhaps i’m looking at it the wrong way; instead should i be thinking “what are other people meant to be getting out of it?”.

So if we look at the “Top 8 Communities” list for example, we find:

1. Moms
2. Women
3. Photography
4. Real Estate
5. Entrepreneurs
6. Dads
7. Fiction
8. Social

The first two, Moms and Women. Yikes! Not exactly my forte. Looking further, here’s the “Top Ranked Blogs” list:

1. Bliss in Bloom Women
2. Oh, The Joys Moms
3. Looking Beyond the Cracked Window Fiction
4. Twas Brillig Women
5. Momo Fall’s Moms
6. Joeprah – My Life as a Stay at Home Dad Dads
7. The Busy Dad Blog Dads
8. Mimz-photography Photography

Which pretty much sums up what cre8Buzz is about. Moms & Dads! I’ve inadvertently been fooled into joining a parenting community!

Now this in itself wouldn’t have been a bad thing… if i was a parent. But considering i’m not, i just don’t see what i can possibly get out of networking on cre8Buzz.

I should also factor into this the rather obvious lack of activity on my profile. When i joined, i chose to participate in the “Entrepreneurs” community, which sounded like a great idea at the time. In total i managed to get 5 people to join my friends list. I even posted on the forum.

But then… nothing.

It seemed that there was negligible activity within the “community”. Updates were sporadic, if there were any at all. It wasn’t really worth my time bothering to try and participate.

Which pretty much sums up my view on cre8Buzz. I’m sure it probably is a great social networking site, but it just doesn’t work for me. but My mouse is now hovering over the “Destroy Account” button…

Going… Going… Gone!
