Okay I joined Facebook and I think it is probably a cool place to hang. But what do you do once you get there? And what are these mobs? Is it some sort of game or just another level of hanging out. Is it related to scrabulous because I am dying to know what that is?
So far everyone I asked to be my friend has agreed, except "the one who I will not name." But reading someone diary once is not the world's greatest crime or is it? Okay, maybe it is.
Anyway, tell me what you do on Facebook and is just another time-sucking activity because I can't resist any of them. Look at me now. Doing this when I should be doing that.

You want to know what to do? Get off of it.
The Internet is my new cigarette. I took me twenty years to find it but I did.
I'm with Sandra. I've never even seen Facebook. Although I have to tell you that I went to an Obama organizing meeting the other night, and the young ones all knew about each other through their Facebook pages, even if they'd never met.
I told them not to expect much techno stuff from me as I cast my first Presidential vote in 1968 and tend to do things the old fashioned way. (They found me quite amusing.)
Patti, you are so right, the Internet can be very addictive.

I actually think faceBook is a younger generation thing. I hate all the widgets and gadgets, but my daughters love it, and use it to store photos, get in touch/keep in touch with friends etc.
Hey, updates are fun and they can be a form of poetry or even flash fiction if you wish. I like Facebook and will be sending you a friend request any minute now! ;)
And it's actually a pretty good e-mail-substituting software, without viruses (so far).
I am suddenly not getting comments forwarded to me. Has something on blogger changed and you need to do something new to get your comments forwarded?
Stay away from it. I'm about to do "Scramble," a scrabble game where you are on a timer. There's black jack and poker that have taken away valuable writing time.
Otherwise, it is just a grown-up MySpace. You post pics and try to accumulate friends. There is a Hammett club, Chandler club, hard-boiled club, etc...
To me and this is not speaking out against the various reading clubs, there is more interaction and posts on Crimespace.
I'm not exactly speaking out against it, other than it hinders writing.
And there's something unseemly about begging people to be my friend. I did enough of that in fourth grade.

Exactly.
