facebook: undecided
Oct 19th, 2007 by jenzug
I don’t really understand the point of Facebook. I mean, if I have a blog, and if I have Twitter, do I really need another personal website to keep up with? Perhaps if I could use it to catalog all my movie and book reviews, and link to it from my blog for your enjoyment, I would find it useful. But one is not able to access my Facebook page unless one is already a Facebook member and adds me as a friend.
I’ve actually found more old friends through my blog than I have through Facebook. So perhaps Facebook is a great tool for those without other social network tools at their disposal?
The other thing I find creepy is that everything you do on Facebook gets recorded in your profile, such as, “JenZug updated her profile picture,” or “JenZug wrote on so-and-so’s wall: “insert message I wrote here, for all of facebook to read,” or “JenZug joined the group, Masturbator’s annonymous.”
You really have to be careful of what you do in there.
Be warned: what you see here is not my best work. It is what Anne Lamott describes in Bird By Bird as a series of “shitty first drafts.” Blogging dragged me kicking and screaming out of creative constipation by getting me to actually write. So I do that. A lot. Without worrying about every word choice or comma placement.

Personally I don’t understand the appeal of Facebook either for all the reasons you mentioned. Could some facebook devotee please explain…?
