Tuesday night – Facebook

Not much to report today.. I worked at home again.. a full day of work mixed in with lots of work on my paper.. I feel so productive when I’m working at home.. Sometimes I think I should do it 100 % of the time.. On the other hand.. I do miss seeing people. I think I’ll try to keep it to 1-2 days a week for now. The only noteworthy thing I can think of that happened to day was a midday visit by our friend Bess. Bess it the writer, director and Producer of the Shout it Out movie that Max was in

She came by to say hi.. and we ended up talking about ways to get the movie in front of more kids. We talked about ways of leveraging social networking tools like myspace and facebook. I hope it was helpful. It would be great if that movie found its way into more schools. Speaking of Facebook..I think something interesting is happening on Facebook… and I wanted to know if others are seeing it. I had heard that Facebook at passed Myspace as the number 1 social networking site back in April of last year..

 but I never saw any difference in My Facebook activity..But, something happened around new years.. I saw activity on my Facebook just explode.. all of a sudden I’m getting friend invites, messages, activities from all over, .. I don’t think it’s anything that I’m doing.. I suspect that it is something to do with many folks making the new years resolution to jump into facebook this year.. Are others seeing it ?   I’m finding that I love facebook.. and so do many of my work colleagues.. I’m finding that I often end up discussing work on Facebook.. which has got to be a no-no ..   What’s more.. my friends are always n facebook. I sent out about 12 ‘friend requests’ about an hour ago 1t 11PM.. and half of them have already responded.   I’m also finding tons of old high school and college friends pretty easily over there… It seems to have less of an age barrier than Myspace. I’m curious to hear from folks what their Facebook experience has been… Are you seeing a big upswing in the number of connections you have ? Unfortunately.. Facebook doesn’t have a good blogging facility .. (but then again.. neither does Myspace haha).. So.. what I’m doing is mirroring this blog on Myspace as ‘Notes’.. I’m not sure people can read it there.. but We’ll see how that goes.Well.. gotta go check my Facebook…   More tomorrow then.. Stay warm.. we’re expecting a low tonight of -16 F
Nite Sam-me
