About every 6 months or so I check out Facebook, thinking there must be something to it, some wonderful benefit, that I just haven’t grasped. I have an account, but have done nothing - absolutely nothing - with it.
Every time I log in, after about 15 minutes I find myself saying “I STILL don’t get it,” and logging off. I can’t even figure out if I’m in my own site or someone else’s. Unless you’re a company promoting something I’ll be damned if I can figure out what the point is.
I’m not a technophobe. Been using computers for work for 25 years and at home for about 15. Hell, we had a computer lab in my high school in the mid-70’s and I was fiddling around with BASIC back then.
I get blogs. I get sites like FR. Hell, I even get Twitter.
But I’ll be damned if I understand what the fascination with Facebook is all about.

Hank! How’s things in Hootersville! Say hello to the Douglass’ for me, please.
Da*n, I miss that show...and a lot like it. Do they show them on tvland? I just checked my on-screen guide and all the shows are from the 70s on :(
I’m the opposite of you — I can’t for the life of me figure out what is the fascination with Twitter.
I like Face Book — even though I was dragged there kicking and screaming by not only half my HS classmates, but my 13yo daughter!
I do find it a wonderful way of keeping in touch with friends and family -— and keeping up on Conservatives issues :-)
Twitter?
Sum up your life in 140 characters or less?
Funny thing is, for most of the twits, 140 characters is probably more than sufficient!
Overkill even!
