Regardless of whether I close my eyes, the world continues spinning. As much as some technological things are such that I have almost no desire at all to join, if people continue using a service it might be time to at least consider it. If people are still hooked in despite all of the controversy in the past year, there must be some reason as to why people keep coming back.
Oh, Facebook.
Over the years I put up a strong fight. Thing is, in doing so I’m now starting to feel like I’ve been left behind. It’s not so much that it’s the it thing that everyone needs to have. It’s more that there’s a lot going on within this realm such that it becomes easy to fall behind on news on other people. So, today, I have caved. I’m not treating this as a failure, but more of a necessary evil. I have yet to see whether this will have a positive or negative impact on me, but I’m determined not to end up as one of those case studies on doing it wrong.

I will admit that I enjoy facebook. The only game I play is Bejeweled Blitz – the rest I use to chat and make plans with friends, keep in touch, and post pictures and links. Most of the people on my f-list there only have about one half of my “world.” There are a few, like you, that know both my identities and can actually put together a whole picture.
I hope you have fun with it. I usually do. But then, if I didn’t I’d just quit.

You finally caved.
I don’t even know if I should be happy about it or not.

As always, this thing is a tool, and it’s only as good or as heinous as you want it to be. So far, my experience has been neutral. It’s not mind blowing, but I can see how it’s useful.
