We had an important event. This week. My wonderful wife Diane has joined the Facebook family. She is now officially ” one of us “.

It’s a funny thing, Facebook used to be the center of my universe… But nowm I find myself not spending so much time on it. there is so much spam and superfluous information there, that I find myself staying away from it. Do you all see that as well?
That said, it’s hard to imagine a world before Facebook. Unlike email, it’s a great way for people to find other people on the Internet. I have reconnected with so many old friends… From college, high school and even before. It’s also really got my ‘engineering is fun’ message out to so many people… Even now, I like it more than I hate it.… Even with a bunch of Farmville invites every day, Cyberstalkers, advertisements, privacy invasions, Dancing Babies, cute cat pictures, romance polls, Get-rich-quick schemes, scams, etc., etc., etc.…

It is interesting to think how social networking has really changed the way we communicate. I actually do think it’s a good force for change in the world.
The fact that I can speaking (Literally) into my iPad, and have it go out to roughly 5000 people via twitter and Facebook is a really interesting Though. When in the course of human history has this been possible? Clearly never.

Anyway… I’d like to welcome Diane to the world of social networking. I hope you find it as much fun and less of frustration than I do.

Night all, night Sam
