Kudos to Facebook
February 13, 2009So I finally gave in and joined Facebook.
I’ve been kind of against Facebook for several reasons. First, because everybody is doing it—and that irritates me. Second, because I know of several people who’ve gotten into a lot of trouble on Facebook (connecting/reconnecting with old flames, etc.). Third, because people add people to their contact list just to show off the size of their contact list—and that also irritates me. Fourth, because I don’t really like connecting with old friends (okay, maybe i’m just being irritable today—I only slept 3-5 hours last night).
So why did I finally cave in? Because I lead a new church that is trying to build community with a lot of new people. And given that we don’t have a signficant networking history (being a new church), we’re having a bit of a hard time connecting people. So we decided to use Facebook as a networking resource.
However, I now have to confess that I’m having a blast with Facebook. Connecting with old friends isn’t as irritating as I once thought. And being able to connect with folks from church throughout the week turns out to be very beneficial. So, to all the Facebook users out there: Cheers!
cheers to you as well!
For Real…Everybody that does Glammor Shots should be on Facebook…are you really serious? You need help…
No, not for real! I didn’t really have glamour shots taken. It’s a joke Jimmy D. C’mon. Lighten up. You need something to bring you down a notch. Cool it, dude. Okay, you’re not my BFF anymore. –Gospel
I am feeling peer presure like never before to give Facebook a try…I feel so alone. I just thought you were my ally in resisting 24-7-365 dependency on .net… Our internet was down for 5 days last week and DDD now has me working on a disaster plan to avoid that type of an outage in the future. 5 days without Facebook is like 5 days without electricity in our house!
Myspace is more the social network to get as many friends as you can i found. At least i know personally im more picky of my facebook friends. But in some respects I can agree with your 4 reasons. Its nice to see you on there though!
