Which can then too easily lead, in other forums, to misprisions and nastiness.<BR/><BR/>Am I paranoid? Maybe, but even paranoids have enemies. :)Cynthia Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344216248318752886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-84792792833882016932009-02-25T09:30:00.000-08:002009-02-25T09:30:00.000-08:00Hey Starr!

I do both and love it! <BR/>i am able to keep in touch with friends from New Jersey, and our home ward, I just set Lynn up with his own account and he is able to keep in touch with his whole family from louisiana, and niece in Iraq. I look forward to the little comments I get on facebook, sometimes they are just what I need to make my day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-11881892272509322822009-02-25T06:58:00.000-08:002009-02-25T06:58:00.000-08:00I do both Starr.

I'll plagiarize myself:<BR/>Facebook is the frontier between my tactics of resistance and the dominating strategies of socially focused technology tools.<BR/><BR/>*hat tip to Michel de Certeau*<BR/><BR/>In less theoretical terms, I find the combination of privacy concerns and content ownership wrangling to be entirely too Orwellian for my taste. Plus it's a big fat waste of time, which doesn't help.Campshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114679823930434601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-22922285216355777262009-02-24T18:14:00.000-08:002009-02-24T18:14:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Campshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114679823930434601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807622327277530232.post-42085307774649267292009-02-24T17:48:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:48:00.000-08:00They sure do!

I have enjoyed looking at a lot of former friends that I haven't been in touch with. Starr, just jump in. You don't have to be an active facebooker. There are a ton of TS sisters, Prez, the whole bit. <BR/><BR/>There are some things that I wish you could do with facebook that you can't and some things that bug me, but overall it is a really useful convenient thing. I really have connected with a lot of former friends that I probably wouldn't have otherwise...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209393227573216241noreply@blogger.com
