It's a neat service, but I'm not sure I really get the full benefit of it. Maybe 25 is too old?<br /><br />Trisha:<br />I can go without checking facebook for a few days. I don't know if I could let it go for weeks. My friends are all too interesting and it tends to be one of my few sources for news (besides Colbert and Daily Show). I do get somewhat restless with it and go through phases of constant checking versus more reasonable usage (once/twice a day for half an hour, etc.).Amy L.

I have too much reading to do nowadays (which is way more rewarding than most FB activity). These are good questions and I'm debating about whether I will be addressing them in the next couple of blog posts, there are so many issues raised by the creation and future of social networking (and of course none of them were addressed in The Facebook Effect *angry face*).<br /><br />PS: I would love to be your Facebook friend if that's not creepy.Amy L.

It is taking up far too much of my time already, which I knew it would do and which was the main reason why I waited so long to try it. I'm also not sure what I think about how it is changing our relationships. It used to be that many relationships had a sort of lifespan. They thrived for a while and then became a happy memory. You'd bump into someone from years ago and have a reunion, catch up on what everyone else is up to, etc. I wonder if we're going to completely lose that.<br /><br />There is a plus, of course, in that we can keep so many friends for a much longer time. But what will these electronic friends be like? It's a bit like haveing a large group of pen-pals. <br /><br />So far, I like it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.com
