Also, I'm friends with some writers and editors, so when they post to their blogs or say something interesting I catch it. Otherwise, I don't really employ it much.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-24379329078125893642011-05-02T23:18:37.879-07:002011-05-02T23:18:37.879-07:00The funny part is, people do take pictures of thei...The funny part is, people do take pictures of their dinners...<br /><br />... and post them on Facebook.Collhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152529375121423592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-22449288369668529262011-05-02T15:10:04.643-07:002011-05-02T15:10:04.643-07:00Did you see Elayne Boosler's original video &q...Did you see Elayne Boosler's original video "Facebook Is A Clocksucker?" I posted it on my blog a couple of weeks ago and it pretty much sums up my feelings. I find it hard to resist not checking in a few times a day and it's been fun keeping in touch with people I wouldn't talk to any other way. Plus I follow a lot of liberal websites through FB and it's a good source of news on issue that are important to me.Jayne Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053366144206401836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-80482264166208774542011-05-02T14:36:11.512-07:002011-05-02T14:36:11.512-07:00Spot on Katie, you're right...and to think how...Spot on Katie, you're right...and to think how much it has grown (and continues to grow) since you wrote this a year ago....Lazarushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546714218677721251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-60917893696282843962011-05-02T10:19:02.707-07:002011-05-02T10:19:02.707-07:00Katie, my daughter in law set me up a page a while...Katie, my daughter in law set me up a page a while ago. I use it, but I'm not sure why. "I'm having a sandwich" is a great status report, but why do I care? Still, it's sort of fun to look over the photos and every great once in a while, somebody says something interesting. Still, now I have a lot of "friends" on there but I'm not sure who a lot of them are.

I think all my 'friends' on facebook are either family or true friends. I do have a couple of contacts that I have made on the web but these have been carefully picked. Twitter followers - I have but few, most are writers or artists. When I can count a couple of 'celebrities' amongst my followers I see a way of broadcasting my writing or helping my daughter launch her latest fashion collection.Until then, I am not the world's greatest Tweeter. For me, Facebook is a cosy look at photos and a glimpse into the lives of my University age son and his siblings.My eldest sister joined Facebook but it worried her to such an extent that she closed the account almost immediately.Too many people wanting to be 'her friend'. Maybe, because I have worked in web and multi-media for some time, social media comes less as a shock LOL!
