What is a blog? For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us. It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Sept. 13, 2008 at 4:59 a.m.
Tags: facebook, myspace

Lately it seems like there has been a mass migration to Facebook, and people I never would have pegged as online networkers and time-wasters are requesting my cyber friendship.

It's pretty cool.

I've been a MySpacer and Facebooker for a while now, and although I agree with most folks, that these sites have the potential to time-suck even the most productive people, I enjoy the creativity and communication.

But, seriously, who's going to shock me next with a new Facebook page? My 90-year-old grandma? My Luddite friend who still refuses to own a cell phone? My dog? My kid's imaginary friend, Nicky?

I only log on to Myspace to get updates on my favorite bands...then I log right off immediately because of all the spam that's on my wall, in my inbox, and wants to be my friend. I've never gotten spam with Facebook

I'm not a Facebook user. I use MySpace and Tribe and Ning, but I've been scared of FB's privacy policy and data acquisition and aggregation policies.
