It is amazing to me how many people use this slow and decrepit website to keep up with friends. A while back when I first saw this site I thought it was interesting but not enough for me to want to keep up with it. I already had my online journal since 2000 working and was upgrading to WordPress on my server. I see the draw in the site as it seems to make it easier for \u201cfriends\u201d to keep up with you.<\/p>\n
However my intent has always been that these same friends should keep up with you anyway WITHOUT Facebook. Why did it take a social-site for you to become social. My wife will tell you I am the most unsociable person you will meet. I beg to differ a bit as I have friends that I talk to all the time. I see them at church, I go to lunch with them, talk to them on the phone, etc. I don\u2019t find it necessary to inject myself into their daily activities unless necessary.<\/p>\n
Maybe I am at the early stages of becoming a curmudgeon but I\u2019ve used the Internet for over 10 years now and working in the industry for over 6 years I see the bad side of the internet. I see the results of customers activities when a subpoena comes across my desk. I\u2019ve seen the results of bad people taking advantage of good folks via the Internet and especially in these \u201csocial-sites!\u201d<\/p>\n
As capricious as I am I\u2019ve decided to join you crazy folks instead and I am willing to impart to anyone who asks, my experience of the WWW. Feel free to call on me anytime via email jones1@netdoor.com, text me or call me. If you don\u2019t have my number email me. I may not be able to answer every question but I can lead you in the right direction.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Facebook has an RSS feed reader so I only have to update my blog and Facebook will pull from it. Here we go\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
