Facebook?!?!?!

Oh, I'm missing out, no doubt. But missing out on what? When I was on FB, I was missing out--on my own life!

In my case, my family is not on FB. I talk to my family on the phone several times a week. I have friends who are on FB, but they know that they can email me or (gasp!) call me and we can talk face-to-face or at least on the phone if they live out of the area.

I'm much happier this way, and I'm not inclined at all to go back.

Eh, I personally see no problem with it.

I find fb a great way to keep up with the friends I want to keep up with, to plan get-togethers and such.

There is an effective ignore feature on fb, so if someone is expending too much bandwidth (imho) yammering about what they had for dinner or whatever, I put them on ignore. Easy-peasy.

Nowadays, I personally find fb much more useful and relevant to me than TE, which I feel (again, imho) has, over time, become full of irrelevant chatter. I'm so glad Jeff finally brought back the ignore thread option.

Again, just my opinion.
