So I finally did it, I gave in to peer pressure. OK so maybe it wasn’t exactly peer pressure, just looking around at everyone else’s monitors at work and seeing Facebook. So I joined … about 3 months ago.
And did nothing. I didn’t know anyone (or so I thought), and I didn’t want to add my co-workers – I see them 8 hours every day anyway. So I did nothing.
Then Dwight (a former co-worker at creativePOST) added me. I thought …hmmm who else might have this, so I thought of web savvy former co-workers – found one! Added him, saw he was a member of an alumni for my College (Canadore) so I joined the group and within hours I had two former classmates as “friends”.
My Facebook journey was now well underway. Then I thought of others and added them and so and so on.
It’s been a great journey so far, I am having a blast finding old friends and touching base. But unlike my foray into MySpace, these are real people, people I have a past with. I intend to keep in touch with my Facebook friends on a very regular basis. I’ll never have hundreds or thousands of “friends”, I’m keeping it real and keeping it small.
So basically if I’ve added you , you are a select group!
Enjoy.
