Yes, I’ve joined Facebook. A few of my coworkers joined recently, and it’s been a topic in some of the admissions meetings I go to, so I broke down and joined.
You know what? I like the fact that you can’t put a horrid, loud background on your profile page and thereby render it completely illegible. Because that is probably my biggest peeve when it comes to MySpace. I like the little modules that you can rearrange as you please. And I really love the quirky little apps that you can add to your profile.
I’m starting to hear from people I knew in high school, too. Which is always cool.
You know, I was tempted to join until I got to your mention of being contacted by people you knew in high school. Eek. No. I put them all behind me long ago and have zero interest in renewing any old acquaintances from thos dark days.
You don’t *have* to add your high school to your profile. And if you don’t put your maiden name in either, they’ll never know i’s you.
I dunno, sweetie. Many of the folks I dropped out of touch with knew my married name. I’ll continue to think about it.
