I have had a facebook account for about 6 months now. When I first got on I was stunned at how many people were on and more importantly, how much time some people were spending on it. I was contacted by people who I graduated with from high school and college 25 years ago that, frankly, I haven't even thought about or remembered. It was a nice flashback that soon faded. I realized I was getting updates from the same small group of people inviting me to join their online games and treasure hunts or just telling me they had a good day. Of the 100 or so "friends", none of them were ever close and I have more important things going on in my life to keep up with that many people's daily activities. I can see, however, how it can get addicting. I know lots of people younger than me who go to it all the time and it is a great tool to get information sent directly to you rather than having to go search for it. Twitter, on the other hand, is something really new to me that I have seldom used. I really don't get this one. I like following news agencies, sports stations and maybe the occasional celebrity, but the "normal" person's information of what they had for lunch really doesn't interest me. Neither is a play by play event that is going on that I will here about in its entirety later on.
