I liked it as a way to see what's happening in the lives of people I used to work with, or friends who live far away. I kept up with their family pictures, their new job, their vacations--just as if they were living right here. <BR/><BR/>Now, though, Facebook is a great, big marketing tool--and it's moved so very far away from its original intentions. Sure, I don't really care that Bob put up the Tempo last week or that Jill just ate a donut--but those threads started funny conversations and kept people in touch. Silly, I know--but still true. But now it takes 10 minutes to find those dang threads, buries under so much fluff and advertising. I'm watching old friends pop off Facebook for good every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
