Could Facebook be the death of blogging? Or has blogging just moved into another form which includes spying and viewing other people's lives without really talking to them? Isn't that what Facebook is? To toot your own horn about your own popularity, to display photos about your fabulous new vacation for all to see? Or do people really use it as an avenue to maintain contact with friends? Is it true contact when it's viewing other people's photos and updates, but never actually writing them that email to ask them how they are?
Ok, I must confess that after years of boycotting Facebook, I finally joined just two weeks ago. It came to a point where I actually felt socially excluded because everyone else would be talking about something posted on their page and laugh about it, but I would have no clue about what anyone was talking about. So in truth, I succumbed to social pressure. However, I must admit that I am still not an avid user and do not desire to be. What the heck is the Advanced Wall and how is that different from the Regular Wall? Am I the only person who has trouble using its awkward interface?
Sigh. I miss blogging. I feel like an old person asking for a return to the 'good ol' days.'
