I know it's popular to make fun of social sites like My Space, Twitter and Facebook. So, let me join in and add to that. Maybe it's my age or attitude but these sites don't appeal to me. I say this after posting some 120 Time Killing blog entries. Yet, blogging has a sense of continuity and form. I write and get some comments usually via e mail since the "comments" slot is too complex for most.
I did join Facebook last year since I had a number of people invite me to join and I didn't want to seem snobby by not complying. So I did that and confirmed anyone who invited me to be their friend - or whatever the terminology is. So I have a bunch of "friends" I don't know which I guess is OK but then again.....
You get loads of pictures of people, dogs, kids and grandmas you don't know which again is OK, just not interesting. So I check every couple of days in case there is something or someone I really do know. I usually have no idea what is going on but what I learned was NOT to respond in Facebook if you don't want the world to know your business..I learned that when I responded to a former co-worker about a work situation which I would have preferred to keep private. I guess I shouldn't let that bother me. After all, what the hell could happen - I could lose my job?
