Can't beat 'em, join 'em

Thursday, December 10. 2009

Well I ranted in my previous post about being held hostage to Farmville.

It was in jest and was poking my adorable wife....

I bit the bullet in the end, and finally joined Facebook and even bloody Farmville.
There should be a law against that game, it's far too addictive.

So dear reader, I'm still wiping egg off my face... I held out for years and didn't see the point of it... but it looks like I've slipped and fell on it.

Though, I gotta admit this whole FB think is great for keeping in touch with long lost friends.... it's really quite scarey.
Pity one can't always seem to shake those people you'd rather forget.

I'm not yet on Twitter, but who knows what 2010 will hold in store.

So have you worked out whether it has a point yet?

I lie in ignorance, desperately not wanting another time sink.

I won't lie.

It's a time-sink... something I was avoiding. Can't say I managed that.

However I'm now in touch with about 10 dozen long lost friends I had all but given up on running into again.

This is indeed the nice thing... beyond that.. Facebook is really a non-alcoholic bar hangs out at meeting/greeting/chatting with friends.
