The Facebook Revolution

As with any new trend such as Myspace, Youtube or Facebook I am well behind the times. I had tried Myspace as a goof and to spy on my kids, it was fun for about 3 weeks and then I soured on it and deleted my profile, lets leave that to the teenagers was my thinking. I recently started enjoying Youtube to pass some time on my nightjob, it's easy to navigate and I even have an account. I'm noticing more real estate activity on the site and just as I was starting to look into it a little more, I read an article that the company is bleeding money and might not be around much longer. It figures, just as I was getting good at it! The latest thing I'm trying out is Facebook. It appears to me to be a grown up Myspace so I can use it without the embarassment. My sisters are helping me out with the tech side of the site but I'm still pretty inept. My greatest fear was that no one would want to be my friend, that problem was solved when someone else asked to be my friend before I had even finished my profile. With a sigh of relief I accepted my new friend and his name wasn't "Tom". It's been 3 days since I started and I'm up over 40 friends and I actually have some pics of the family up on the site. Time definately flies when you're on the site and I can assume there are some pretty po'd spouses out there when I see the multitude of posts of some of my cronies. For me, I'm going to try and limit my time on it, promote my blog and real estate business, and reignite old and forgotten friendships ( no exgirlfriends says my wife) . Luckily I was born shy and ugly so that condition shouldn't be a problem. Happy surfing!!!
