Thing 22

I revisited my Facebook page, because I did set up an account about six months ago. I feel much more comfortable with Facebook, than MySpace. It's just personal bias, I guess, but it seems like MySpace has younger users. I also like that Facebook has controls that limit who can see your information and interact with you. What I love about Facebook is that I have reconnected with friends that I haven't seen in over 20 years. I have some dear friends that I hope to reconnect with more in depth over the summer. What I don't like about Facebook are all of the silly requests-from Happy Hour to kidnap to pillow fights. It takes a long time, even just to click ignore. Most of my friends have stopped trying to write on my wall even, because I haven't been visiting Facebook regularly, and haven't been writing much.

I had a lot of fun looking at my site tonight, and was thinking about how fun it will be to join some of the more interesting groups, like Circle of Moms, and taking interviews to discover how my friends have changed over the years. I really do like Facebook overall, especially because of the special people from my past that I now have the opportunity to get to know again. Just a sample of the people I have found on Facebook-a friend from my freshman year in high school; my old college roommate, my two best friends from high school; and several good friends from college. I love how geography doesn't matter as much, as we can use technological tools to bring us all together again!
