To Facebook or not to Facebook...

...that is the question. Well at least the one currently on my mind. My niece recently (yesterday) sent me an invitation to see some pictures that she posted to her Facebook account. I being the ever curious uncle went over to have a sticky beak (Australian for being nosey) and see the pictures but when I got there I found out I needed to join Facebook in order to see the pictures. Now, I used to have a Facebook account some time ago, but deleted that account because I never really spent enough time with it to keep my interest and there was very little interaction with the few friends I had as contacts. However, this time it looks like it will be different. After signing up and then being directed to my niece's pictures I then had another sticky beak around her facebook page. I came to realised that she was linked to several of my family members, including my mother. Who knew? Apparently everyone but me.

So, I've spent the last day and a half setting up the account and having a look around as to what I could do with the account. I'm suddenly feeling like I'm being drawn into the whole Facebook thing, which is just like me. Of course I'm always late to the party. What I mean by that I finally get interested in something just as everyone else is in the been there done that mode and moving on to the next thing aka Twitter. Hell, I didn't get an iPod until years after they came on the market. Blogging was the same story. Anyway, I'm going to give Facebook another go and we shall see where it leads me. So, if you want to become a friend on Facebook just look me up and send me an invitation. If you can't find me, leave a comment here with an email addy or logged into blogger or send me an email if you already have my address. I'll then be glad to add you to my list. Until next time take care and enjoy...

I have slowly come to enjoy face book. It's a quick way of finding out little bits of friends and family what they are doing. it seems to nicely complement blogging.
however, it is time-consuming!
