20/11: Facebook (Giving In To The Inevitable)

After being called out for not having a Facebook account the other day, I've finally decided to add my profile to the millions of others out there on the social networking platform. I've only had a very brief amount of time to dig around in its myriad of options but if anyone is interested, I've placed a link to my profile at the foot of the sidebar.

Whilst I have nothing against social networking sites, there are simply not enough hours in the day for me to give them all my attention, thus my reluctance to open up yet another account in a new virtual space. I have to say it looks pretty good though, even if rather forlorn and empty in my little corner, so I will be trying to squeeze it into my routines where possible. If you are a Facebooker already and want to add a Johnny Come Lately as a contact, please drop by and say hello :-)

Hey Johnny Come Lately ;) Don't feel bad. I have a FaceBook account, but I don't think I've logged into it for months. You're right, there are just too many social networks out there.

I just recently signed up with Twitter after reading Carolines free guide at her blog and I'll admit, I haven't done much with that either.

I have heard quite a bit about FaceBook lately though and I do plan on getting started with it. When I do I'll add you.

Hi Josh

I can see its potential, but there is just so many toys! Any new networking friends are more than welcome or I'll have to change my name to "Billy No Mates" lol.

Hey Maurice, I have been with facebook for a long time now. I do not use it for blogging or promoting any websites. The only reason I use it, is to keep in touch with my buddies from college and around the world. It is great if you are using it for that.

I'm surrounded by Josh's :-)

I agree Josh, I'm hoping to see a few old friends sign up so that we can keep in touch with a little more regularity. I know people do use it for marketing purposes too, and with such a huge user base I guess it won't hurt to have a few links on there too :-)

Thanks for dropping in, and thanks again for agreeing to offer a full feed on your own blog, much appreciated!

Hmm, I wonder who it was that "called you out" the other day. I completely understand what you're saying about there being sooo many social networking sites, how can we possibly keep up? Well, logically we can't, we simply have to do what we can, how ever often we can.

I only recently got a Facebook account, but I decided against Twitter. I have my top favorite social networking sites that I frequent, and it just has to be enough.

I know! I need to clone myself, over and over and over. :)

Hi Lin,

Thanks for adding me to your Facebook friends, and yes, it was your comment and BlogCatalog that prompted me to go and check it out :-) It was just the kick I needed to find out more!

I'm already finding it a good way to stay in touch with personal friends, and am slowly exploring the networking and business opportunities it offers too.

Mo, I agree completely, with you and everyone else, that there are just too many social networks. I haven't signed up with FaceBook yet, as I know I won't use it! Having said that, I've had a few old friends invite me so I may end up do joining. But I'm going to sign up to coComment first! Sometime real soon now.. :)
