Social Networking Sites

In recent months, I have become addicted to social networking sites. I'm active on Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. My favorite is Facebook and one of my favorite applications is Lil' Green Patch.

The premise of Lil' Green Patch is that you send friends plants for their virtual gardens. From time to time you have to rake leaves, chase deer and rabbits away and perform other gardening tasks. For every plant you send, you save a few square feet of rain forest. It's a fun way to help the environment.

I've sent enough plants that I have access to a "Greenie On the Go." Each time someone clicks on my little friend here, we save some of the rainforest and I earn access to more plants and Green Bucks to buy virtual tools to tend to my garden. I know it sounds crazy but it is a blast. I encourage you to try it out especially for those of you who do not have a "real" green thumb.
