Be My "Friend"

It seems that the word “friend” has taken on a new dimension with the advent of Facebook. Yes—thanks to my very wonderful bro-in-law Colin, who took my picture, created a password, and entirely set it up for me—I now have a Facebook account.

Because I now have a Facebook account, surely I am well on my way to being culturally relevant, right? In any event, I feel better about myself since having joined the Facebook craze. Now I can see what all the fuss is about.

Already several people have “found me.” Some of these people are individuals whom I once talked with regularly and really enjoyed their company but have since lost touch with them. In this crazy, mad, busy world, it’s easy to lose touch with quality people, isn’t it?

So, this could be fun. I may not check my Facebook account five times a day but, when I do check it, I think it will be good for kicks.

*sigh* All this Facebook and Myspace stuff. Conversations usually go like this:

Me: "I posted something about that the other day."

Younger, more hip person: "Oh, really? Are you on Myspace or Facebook?"

"No. Blogger."

"Oh."

So have fun with Facebook, but don't abandon us Bloggers!

You're new to facebook too?! I thought you were an old pro and I figured I was the only one still in the stone age! (at least according to the kids in my youth group)

I can't say I like it as a blogging sort of place, but for keeping up connections it's awesome! In the account's first 24 hours I found three old/lost friends, and just yesterday I found an old friend who just got engaged!

Ain't tec'nlgy sumtin!!
