Obviously, all of us who love social media take it seriously...at least most of the time. But it’s never made more sense to have a sense of humor than right now. In our winter of economic discontent, in the middle of very uncertain times, perhaps it’s time to take a break.

Take a break from all of the seriously negative news. Take a break from winter’s icy grip. Get away, for just a few minutes, from the serious decision-making involved in the world of social networking software.

Besides, when you think about it, one of the major reasons we like social networking is because it’s fun to communicate with other people online. Without the fun factor, social media communities would be a lot less enjoyable (and a lot more dull).

So join web designer Matthew Inman in an amusing, visual tribute to a lineup of social media icons. If you find yourself grinning and would like more Inman humor, there is more.
