I have finally succumbed to the peer pressure. After being harassed I finally did what I swore I would not do. I got a facebook. I now have one more thing to keep up on. Although my twitter account will update my facebook so I have that covered. I finally joined the club so that I could keep track of those friends that don’t blog and/or use twitter (you know who you are). So I would like you all to come over and be my friend or whatever it is you call it on facebook. Now the only question left is do I really want to go and talk to all of my old school friends or should I pretend that they aren’t easily found and wait for our reunion which should be right around the corner.

Twitter Up

I have been wanting to get Bella Ruth her own twitter for awhile now. A few days ago I finally did it. Sadly, @bellaruth was already taken, seems we need to come up with a less common awesome name. So I got her @Bella_Ruth. I am not a huge fan of the underscore but it is better than nothing. I mean Bella Ruth needs her own twitter account. And now all the parents who read this think I am crazy, but allow me to explain. This really is for my own entertainment. Bella Ruth doesn’t write any of the tweets and won’t for quite awhile (she is not allowed to play with my phone or the computer). Yes my life is this boring.

So, if anybody really wants to follow I suppose they can, though I do have her updates blocked and I am not going to allow just anybody to follow. I am not a terrible parent.

With all of these different social networking sites out there these days it begs the question are they good or are they bad? A question that has been asked a lot and has probably been answered by people much smarter than me. But in the past few weeks, I have heard several people voice their opinions that these sites are in fact hurting our social lives. These people have brought up some very valid points: people are no longer meeting face to face, people only know what is going on in their friends lives because of a blog or even a very short 140 characters. We don’t even talk on the phone

anymore, we simply text. But are all of these things as bad as we make them out to be?

I would agree that if I won’t go out to get food with my best friend, because I would rather just read about their life from their blog then something is probably wrong. The whole point of friendship is interaction and fellowship. But what about a friendship where distance makes face to face time unavailable. Through all of these social networking sites people are now able to keep in touch with the lives of friends where face to face time is impossible. Is that so wrong? Through Twitter it is possible to find out what people are doing everyday. I can’t even say I know that much about friends that live minutes away.

Nay sayers also neglect to take into account new friends met via social networking sites. It is almost implied in the name that the point is to create a network. Why would it stop at people we already know? These sites are a great way to find new people who share similar interests or goals. If people can meet, fall in love and get married, can’t I make new friends?

Wow this is a long rant… sorry. I just like this stuff.
