As I mentioned in this post, I’ve been “reconnecting” a bit with folks. Added some more people to my IM clients, and I even got some people to join me in IRC (though, the more the merrier – go ahead, click the link and say hi). But now I’ve gone and done it. I’ve done something I swore I would never do. It started with LinkedIn, which I thought was okay because it’s a professional networking site. I’m fine with that. But no, I’ve sunk even deeper. Yes, I’ve signed up on Facebook. If you know me, it’s not too difficult to find me on there (and since you have to know me somewhat to even be able to see a glimmer of my profile, there’s not much point in putting a link here), so go ahead and send a friend request. As long as I actually know you, I’ll confirm it :>
I swore I would never succumb to it. I still steadfastly refuse to even look at MySpace, let alone get an account there. But at least Facebook is a bit more grown-up, so I don’t feel like a grumpy old man hanging around at the wrong address. And as my friend Will put it in his profile, “I hate facebook, myspace and everything else like it. But it’s the only way to actually find people I used to know so here I am. Hi.” Well said.
