Ok – Mabel’s Labels is a web-based business, so I do my best to stay current on what’s going on out there in the web-world. But, for this techno-peasant, that is a big undertaking. I’m learning (OK, Mumby’s forcing me to learn) about podcasting, blogging, etc, etc. but I’m truly fascinated by this whole facebook phenomenon.
A while ago I started getting emails from people requesting to be my friend so I got myself set up on Facebook, but I’m left with a few questions about the point.
First off, I think facebook is just what used to be my old ‘contacts’ list but with pictures. Oh, and with the ability to be a bit nosey, which is a problem because if I had no self-control that could eat up a lot of valuable time. And is it just me, or does anyone really have an interest in someone’s status? I just can’t see myself popping onto facebook several times a day to update people on what I had for lunch.
I also have a pet peeve….I got a friend request from someone I have not seen in 25 years! Yes, that long. His message was “what’s new?” Is that serious…as if I can sum up 25 years in a few lines?
OK Mumby, Facebook……what am I missing?
