Way to busy to give this the time it deserves right now, and I know that all you bloggers out there know what that is like and make it through anyway.
Currently my life is revolving around finishing the school year, the schools yearbook, and setting up an entire basketball program from the youth of the town. And in the back of my head planning for next years basketball season. I’ve set all this technology geekery aside for a while.
I promise I will return to it soon, and if nothing else continue to relate my basketball fun here. For today though, I wanted to give my first impressions of Facebook.
I’ve been watching this from the outside for a number of years now (just checked, first mention in Brainstorms was August 2005 – I’d have seen that at least), and have yet to be convinced of the educational value of social networking sites like this and MySpace. My little sister and her hubby were up on the weekend and both checking their facebooks regularly. Tuesday evening one of my co-workers IMs me to sign up so I can see her holiday pictures.
So I join, and have now spent maybe three hours there…
I still see little if any educational use. But I ran into Jessica Spanton (and will therefore run down Kendra and and their Mom) which makes Facebook if not useful, at least wonderful.
I am somewhat entertained by my own reluctance to “friend” people I know who are, lets be honest, my sister’s friends. We’ll see how that plays out over time.
