Default Re: Facebook - friend or foe?

FB is so passé. Anyone using Twitter?

"I'm eating my homemade cherry pie and can recommend adding a layer of ground almonds"

"Fishfingers and rösti with peas for dinner - yum"

"You're all gonna die"

Etc.

I'm not on FB and it's been hard containing my curiousity about some of the freaks I've spent my days with. I'm a little bit worried I'd be envious.

I'm also worried I'd try to resurrect communications with people whom I really shouldn't. Discretion is the better part of valour and I'd more likely than not make a tit of myself, but that's probably just me being cautious.

I do feel its for the kids. The sheer immediacy of information exchange must be very appealing, however the consequences of certain photographs or stories being made 'public' make me shy away from the service. Not that I'm ashamed (of much), but it won't do having every gothic image broadcast for all and sundry.

I also feel that other internet Forum in Switzerland which we cherish so dearly started it's decline when a tight FB crowd merged their online interactions. Then it all - inevitably - became poisoned and sure enough the Dramas were played out over there. It certainly killed the decent social scene for a while.

Hmmm.
