#12 - social networking

Is! :)

* Fun!
* A wonderful waste of time.
* Straightforward and cryptic at the same time.
* A great way to get connected, and stay connected.
* Kinda creepy. The friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-someone-you-don't-know-very-well-really-but-you-just-added-them-to-be-polite thing can get out of hand.

Is not! :(
* Unfun.
* An efficient way to spend your evening.
* Terribly uninteresting.
* Not very well-designed for older folks, or people who have trouble reading very teensy tiny fonts.

Apparently, during one of our social network mentoring sessions, our teen mentors graciously pointed out to me that it was rather distasteful to be replying to messages on your own Facebook wall. Oops? I guess I'll just have to deal with being distasteful.

Distasteful, and old.
