Yeah, well, uh, what can I say. Last year I signed up on under the radar using the name of the protagonist of the Fred books, but I never check it. I'm just not a Facebook kind of guy.
For an example of why, here's the last 3 updates from one of my "friends":
Today: Monday +Rain= Yucky Day!!!
Today-1: Going to start this Beautiful Day off with a big cup of Hot Coffee!!!
Today-2: At the Streetz Dance Competition!!! Go I Rule!!!
If content is king, then this poster is a pauper.
Hahaha! Yeah, well I have about 20 or so teenage 'friends', and yes they use it like twitter. (I have a twitter feed too, which I check about twice a year.)
So you have to scroll past the nonsense. Still, it's good for sharing ideas, photos, videos, and keeping up with family and friends who might be far away – and you wouldn't normally have time to write to them individually.
Facebook usage seems to be inversely related to age. My four oldest sisters (59-68) have never used it – they still write emails – but my teenage daughter and her friends are on it all the time, and they no longer use email.
Well, then, there's the thing. I don't keep up email correspondence with people, either. I'm not much for small talk and the mundanity (if I can use that word) regardless of the medium, as you may remember from or correspondence of long ago. I'd rather talk about something of moment or not talk at all.
It's about time!!!! 😉
