Staying 'in touch' with people (and parts of their networks) all over is wonderful and so easy !
- Thoughts of the moment are better than 'letters and phone calls' just to catch up
- FaceBook is not intrusive, but is interactive when the spirit moves. Perfect for a time-challenged extrovert.
- Phone calls are for the really serious stuff across the miles (or for those great last minute rendezvous arrangements)
- I get impatient with friends who don't use FaceBook (but love them nonetheless).
- There is nothing like weather to make the Internet sing with news and witticisms (and grunts and groans) and that's everything from heat to snow to rain to floods (Australia) to how DC and NoVa STILL can't handle snowstorms.
- Pictures are really fun
- I keep track of things that really interest me (Art Galleries, books, movies, blogs, news) easily. I've 'liked' more pages of interest than anything else.
- Farmville deserves its own blog post, so stay tuned.
