Facebook

I understand Facebook is losing adherents in the USA and the UK. I'm not particularly surprised. It was a fad- like Hula Hoops.

I am not sure that I agree... that is what I thought at first, but now it has turned out to be a major component in my professional communications. Yes, my FB Friends are a list of friends, exes, high school buddies and game cohorts, but, also on that list there are a bunch of other students from this college, teachers from my last college, teachers from THIS college, ministers, and deans... yes, deans. The stuff I share on LJ I do not share on FB. FB is much more "professional" for me.

Yes, I can see its value as a networking tool. I'm not against it. I don't suppose it will fade away. But I think the boom years are over.
