Sweet.
Can we get a GSS fansite going now, too? At the least, his videoblogs should be posted.

I broke down as well earlier this month :roll: I swore I would never be part of the social networking de jour... proudly clinging to my 10 year old tride and true weblog. Seemed like a good way to reconnect with past friends that I had lost touch with. Facebook is drop jaw unbelievably amazing at finding just about any one you ever knew just with your school information and one or two friends.
Unfortunately, I have found Facebook just about as completely useless as I thought I would. Full of tweak like comments and waste of time applications. If I want to social network, I think my time is more productive by picking up the telephone and arranging a get together than mindless one line comments Facebook-style.

Too true. Every so often the Facebook bug bites, though, and you find yourself commenting and searching for friends, and inviting to app, and all that stuff.
And then you feel dirty.

I like Facebook actually.
Back in Feb, I had a reunion with a bunch of my old co-workers from when I was an EMT. I hadn't seen any of them in over 10 years and when I left, I really didn't keep in touch with anyone (or even say good-bye) after working there over 4 years.
It was an awesome night, like steping into a time machiene for a few hours. We met at our old "after work" bar and had a blast. Over 30 of us showed up. I wish we could do that more often. I really miss some of them (most actually).
That's worth the daily one liner quips that a lot of people (my self included) throw up all the time.
When my company laid off a lot of folks last November, I added my old Admin asst. to my friends list. I worked with her for 10 years and miss her company and advice. We keep in touch through Fb and got together for a drinks once.

I'm a fan of the Fb abbreviation for Facebook. Mostly because it makes me thing of the old days of Fark, when Fb- was the father.

I miss the old Fark (loved the squirrel).
The photoshoped pics kept me rollin at work. AZ fills the void nicely however

I still enjoy Fark, but the dynamic has certainly changed. Bound to happen with a larger community. Same with all forums.

Finally caved and started to actually use it. Only using it for friends from high school and college though, that's where I see its usefulness as I'm terrible at keeping connected to old friends. Might use it for non-AZ ski friends over the summer, not sure.
Absolutely no connections to work or family. They know how to get a hold of me.

I use it sporadically. I did some 'friend' pruning tonight.
It is nice to stay connected with classmates of years gone by though.

Likewise. Some were just people I accepted early on without carefully thinking about it. I never understood those that have like 500 friends. I'm not sure I've ever even met that many people, let alone consider them friends.

Including me... :sad: Whatever though... not like I ever talk to you outside of AZ anyway.

Exactly. Sorry dude, nothing personal. Among other things I no longer wish to have facebook friends who I don't really know and have never even met in person.

It's all good... no big deal... I was having a similar debate with myself the other day... Just no patience to weed through all my FB "Friends".
