I’m not a technological or social luddite, but I’m wondering if I should give Facebook a try. In no particular order, here are some of my thoughts:
1. I’m asked by clients to integrate Facebook into their business schema – would like to have first-hand knowledge if it would make my service better.
2. It would be nice to connect with old or lost friends.
3. If they were really my friends, I probably wouldn’t have lost contact with them in the first place.
4. I don’t want to be available to everybody.
5. I don’t want to damage feelings by not friending someone or limiting friend access.
6. I like the active community of Facebook and ability to share with many folks at once.
7. I’m afraid it would become a “maintenance” task for me. (I don’t need any more obligations)
If anyone has any input, I’d love to hear it.
spike, nomber 4 and 5 are the main reasons why i want to shut down my facebook, and lately has turned more into number 7 for me. but it is kind of nice to know what friends are up to once in a while. i´d say give it a try and if its the sucks for you, shut it down.
Hey Bro. I don’t know if it’s that easy. I’ve been reading lately about some of the data mining Facebook does. Not to sure if shutting down your account really “shuts it down”. I’ll probably do it anyway. What the hey.
