We never talked anymore. It was too much. Happy to say, he only blogs now. Whew! Thanks for settling this one.

I update my facebook status and my blog widget via twitter. It's both handy and dandy and makes my blog look more interesting. I almost never log onto facebook but because everything online is so interconnected these days, it appears that I do, and it's a beautiful link to my blog. Why do I keep it? Because it appeals to my vanity. Myspace is for assholes though.<br />Sold? I'll work on a better argument.C.

No worries! <br /><br />Just to be candid, at last check I have almost 500 friends so I think possibly I should reconsider your comments and adopt your stance...OR GET A LIFE! <br /><br />I wonder with the whole web 2.0 boone if one day we will all just sit on our computers, blackberries, iphones, etc. and never have to talk to anyone or leave the house!

I probably could've figured that out had I the inclination to navigate around further...but it's better getting it from a secondary source anyway!<br /><br />I DO agree with you on a certain level about the benefits for SOME PEOPLE of the network factor. For me? It's not going to be something I get involved with...at this juncture.<br /><br />Also, the typo...I think that was a Freudian slip as my daughter was 'buggin' as I was trying to finish the blog. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! :-)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment (s)!f8hasithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09195691823384775191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-40584964317132276462009-06-18T19:38:08.887-04:002009-06-18T19:38:08.887-04:00You can actually change your setting so that other...You can actually change your setting so that others cannot see when you are on line (bottom right, click on the head). I too think it's creepy and don't want others to see, hence mine is ALWAYS off! Also, you can change the settings on your page. (Mine are set to friends only). I have another friend whose page you cannot post wall comments so you are forced to send private messages. <br /><br />Like anything, it depends on how you use FB/Twitter. I have reconnected with many friends made professional contacts and have been able to tap resources I otherwise would not have access to. Hence the collaboration aspect can be beneficial. I have a friend who is a PhD candidate in Psychology who uses FB to post her short stories and advice "columns." <br /><br />Lastly, and don't be mad...it's "moot" point.:) http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moot_pointAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-10505246215466505012009-06-18T16:49:41.404-04:002009-06-18T16:49:41.404-04:00@MVD - thanks for that link.

I'll share it with you as no one else will ever know...<br /><br />@Chris - Yes, I concur. I too spend a little too much time reading others peoples blogs. But enjoy it so much, if I cut it out, it'd be like starting the morning without coffee. And that just CAN'T happen!<br /><br />@Maureen - I hate counting my friends on Facebook.

Everyone I know that would send me messages already has my e-mail address; so why not just send me an e-mail?"<br /><br />Thank you, thank you, thank you, for saying this. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. And I, like you, initially joined Facebook to see photos. I also UNfriended about 15 people last month, which felt so empowering.<br /><br /><br />"But I'm most confused about Twitter.
