I must admit that I really didn’t think anyone could invent something that would top caller id but then came FACEBOOK. I absolutely love it!!!!! At first, I loved the idea of chatting with ex-boyfriends seeing if they still remembered those little special things about me. Then it turned into the comparison game : Who was married?, Who has kids? Who’s changed the most? Who still lives in my hometown? However, now I have truly arrived at a space that makes Facebook great. It’s a place I can go on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis to recharge my battery. Someone always has something funny, witty or inspirational posted on their wall. I also enjoy seeing how people spend their time. I’ve gotten some vacation ideas by looking at my “friends” photos. I’ve also learned of some cool books and music. While I know that people either love or hate Facebook, in this age of busyness, it really is a wonderful tool to help people stay connected. I might go so far as to say it’s therapeutic. At any given time I can log on and at least one of my virtual friends is online. Overall, I think Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch. You will find people that you haven’t spoken to in years. Just recently I found my bff from sixth grade. If you haven’t joined FB, I encourage you to jump on the bandwagon. However, be warned that it can be addictive. So, how do you feel about Facebook?

FOE! You sound like an addict. The whole time I was reading this, I was writing the "anti-facebook" post in my head. I had a counter for every positive thing you said. I don't want people all up in my bizness and I don't want to be all up in theirs. Okay I know...I'm not being much a of a bucket filler. Unfortunately, now that I am becoming somewhat of an entrepowhateva, I might have to get on the bandwagon (for business purposes only of cours ;)
oh yeah, i have both a personal account and a blog account and it's crazy good for business ;) i update both fairly frequently, but so far i'm not addicted yet. now when Myspace came out, whew!!! there was no getting me off of that thing. or better yet, Am I Hot Or Not.com, remember that?? Or Frienster? hahah....wow, i'm outdating myself here.
btw, if you haven't seen it yet, you're mentioned in a post over on MSN's Smart Spending Blog ;) check it out - you're famous:
I love facebook too! But...it has made me reconnect with some people that I really did not want to reconnect with. I do love looking at old boyfriends and seeing what choices they have made in their lives after me. I don't check as much as you and am not nearly as active on there, but I do enjoy it.
wow, j. money!!!!!....thanks for the heads up about the smart spending blog...how cool and it's all because of u posing such a good question
I'm so late on this blog.. but, I have to say I love Facebook for what it enables! It's like the new party line!lol I mean, it's so much easier to just chat about an event with everyone at one time. As opposed to having to call everyone individually, and repeat the same thing! I have friends all over the world, so FB allows me to tell them everything at one time. :) Plus a dear childhood friend found me the other day on FB, and it made my week! So, I'm now a supporter. ;)
