Yup, I became a fan of Tennessee football on FACEBOOK today. “We are Tennessee!”

Barbara, my 19-year-old niece is horrified at family members having any knowledge of her Facebook . . . what shall we call it . . . her Facebook Persona. What’s endlessly amusing is that she, too, believes all of us (aunts, uncles, grandparents) are just too old, too out of touch, to have any understanding of being her age. I was hatched four years ago at 46 so it’s still a bit of a struggle for me. Good thing I’m not on Facebook.

If I ever want to know what my 17 yr old neice is up to, I just go to her Facebook page. She won’t tell me face-to-face what she’s up to because I am TOO OLD and won’t know about being 18. But just go to FB and there she is with purple hair, going on and on about her life.

Love IT!!

this post sooooooo made me laugh.
i keep fb manageable by only using it for real life established friends- not networking.
no prob with applications or flair or poke- i guess my 160 high school, college, family and coworker friends are simple people!

Damn… you caught me. I too have been abducted by the dark side. Some people (creatures) at work talked me into joining. I did so, and before you know it, you have a huge network of people who will not let you leave. I might point out, though, that I rarely get on there. I think it is laid out poorly, and all I ever get are these stupid application requests that want me to recruit 10,000 other people. That’s a big reason that I created my website – social networks suck. (But they’re not going anywhere.)

Let’s not even get into MySpace. Let’s see you find seven people who aren’t on THERE!

There’s only one reason to join Facebook… to spy on your kids! I joined; but while my children refused to “friend” me I was able to conduct important research which resulted in several spirited discussions with my two soon to be job seeking college age daughters.

I found it to be a meaningful and rewarding parental experience.

sbb, I’ve heard about you. People tell me “…fear the all-powerful sbb…she’s deeply connected to the Facebook mothership…she has a way of directing people to get exactly what she wants from them…”

Great, now I’m going to be looking over my shoulder for you….but who am I looking for? This concerns me.

This means my research overlooked you. My profound apologies….wait, hold on a second….is this a clever cover to lure me in??
