Social networking is fun – at-least in the beginning! You get to see what people are doing… friends, people you know … perfect way to keep watch on personal life of others!

It never seemed to be attractive enough for me to really start it – I am busy enough with family + photography + keeping real life contacts so that I don’t see the spare time necessary for it. Plus I have that paranoid feeling that out here in cyberspace there are more than sufficient traces of me and my life, and I don’t want to add my social contacts into a big business plan of somebody whose’s intention at best are only profit. Google is problematic enough in this context already, so I think I will get along without facebook and the like

I can see that I’m ready losing interest in it. I stop in, now, and see if I have any new friend invites. I have reconnected with a few people that I worked with some 20+ years ago. In that respect it’s fun, but I don’t have anything to talk about on a day-to-day basis.

What amazes me about Facebook is the almost pathological need of some to tell me EVERYTHING they do. What they had for breakfast. How their trip to the airport went. How the short-order cook put too much butter on their toast. It’s downright creepy. In my office I sit next to a young woman who complained about those kind of people endlessly, but lately has started posting exactly those kind of updates. Me, I just don’t get it.

On the other hand, my web site has gotten some hits from the link I left on Facebook, so . . .

It’s reassuring to find that others are not much more than curious about most of these social networking gizmos. As another person who is not afraid to be alone with my thoughts for a few hours now and then, I can’t even muster enough curiousity about Facebook or Twitter to spend time trying them. Besides, if I were lonely it seems there are much better ways to connect with other humans. Gordon’s idea sounds good, although I have never been in a position to try it. Hopelessly old-fashioned of me, I suppose.

I have a Facebook account, but I can’t really see how it is terribly useful to a photographer. At least not yet.

I have an account also Paul – joined just to learn what the buzz is about, and have used it here and there – but quickly got tired of all the psuedo-virus “Apps” they have there. Everyone is always sending you something that you have to agree that the app has access to all of your friends and information. The only difference between that and spyware is that it is spyware you agree to let in I guess.

I still use it from time to time – it is interesting to see what some people are up to, connect with old friends – but I can’t really get into the update of my status every half hour to let everyone know I just let my dog out to pee.

I have a facebook…it is empty pretty much…I deleted practically everything that had been there and only got it to keep up with Rob when he was in Iraq. I really don’t use it.
