I have something to write about!
Time 2/23/09, had a funny article w/many truths entitled "Facebook is for Old people" by Lev Grossman. Here were the 10 reasons:
1. Facebook (FB) is about finding peole you've lost track of.
2. We're no longer bitter about high school.
3. We never get drunk at parties and get photographed holding beer bottles in suggestive positions. - At least I hope not!
4. Facebook isn't just a social network, it a business network.
5. We're lazy.
6. We're old enough that pictures from grade school or summer camp look nothing like us.
7. We have children.
8. We're too old to remember e-mail addresses.
9. We don't understand Twitter. Literally. It makes no sense to us. - I had to LOL at this one!
10. We're not cool, and we don't' care.
The more funny thing about all this Facebook stuff, is that despite my aversion to technology, I find out, my husband made one! When I asked him where he is getting time to do this, I noticed - while I was picking up the kitchen after dinner and our children were running wild - that he was on his Facebook page!!!!! And it isn't even done well - he has old, not the cutest pictures we have, of our kids and himself on there. Now I probably need to do one to show him how it is done. But I still don't get it. The "what am I doing right now" thing - do I really care that my sister in law is bragging about just getting back from a 9 mi. run? I'm still taking the position that I don't have time for.

This is a really funny (true!) list :) As I've said, I still don't do the status update, but I have just experienced the power of Facebook when a major thing happened and everyone involved used Facebook to get informed and share information. Without Facebook I would have been clueless and frustrated about what was going on, and I was amazed by how quickly the connections happened and how quickly information was shared. Since I didn't know the email addresses or phone numbers of anyone involved, I can't think of any other way we would have connected ... it was interesting to experience ...
