Facebook Double standard…

Amanda on February 11th, 2009

Man, I am super sucked into Facebook! I just joined and I am crazy. At first it creeped me out and I still kinda don’t get it. I think it will get old after awhile, but it sure is fun to see people I haven’t connected with in awhile. Wow, does that say something about our society (or me?). I will look at someone’s Facebook, but don’t want to actually talk to them and yet I say I feel “connected”.
For some of our students this is their primary source of communication. I feel old and out of touch when I say this, but I’m gonna…what a shame.
But I do it too now.

Yea, you’re on Facebook? I’ve been on for it seems like forever, but more are starting to join. It’s totally addictive and can be a time waster but at the same time, I feel like I at least got to talk to someone though I haven’t left the house all day (If I actually sent them a message or wrote on their wall–I can walk you through it, if you want me to. It is the primary way to stay in touch with the teens).

Hello fellow Krista – well – there is this wonderful thing on facebook, called a ‘Limited profile list’ were you can set special privacy settings to people on this list. Personally – I’ve given up and have choosen the more simpler route – I will only post stuff on there that I wouldn’t mind the whole church knowing. Much safer that way. I have also tweeked the privacy settings to limit what is shown on my wall. Most my ‘conversations’ are through private messages anyways – but best to be safe.
