I have to confess that I am impressed by this Facebook phenomenon. It has opened up a whole new aspect of networking. I can keep up with so many interesting people I have met so easily.
Like any technology it has to be consciously managed. I have certain rules. While I observe exchanges between my daughter and her social networks I avoid participating in it, out of fear of intruding into her circle of friends.
I avoid exchanges that require work like “25 things about you.” One of my wife’s friends refers to being a “drive by Facebook” participant. Facebook is a great way to keep up with a lot of people QUICKLY.
Lastly, while avoiding overtly political and religious proselytizing, I will share articles that I think offer some depth into a subject, though others may simply disagree. On Facebook it is easy to move on and not bogged down in different opinions.
Friends can disagree and still be friends.
