The other day I got an invitation from a friend who lives six states away. At the bottom of the invitation there was listed other people that it said I knew on Facebook. Listed were my nephew (brother's son), my greatniece (first husband's family), and step daughter. None of these people know each other. <br /><br />Apparently they connected them to me through my email address in their email programs. When I talked to my nephew about this he emailed me this link about Facebook and its privacy settings.<br />http://www.newsweek.com:80/id/233773Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-53072809909279103802010-02-22T08:22:35.575-05:002010-02-22T08:22:35.575-05:00This comment is not about Facebook.

As a parent, your blog has helped me and my son, who truly enjoys your blog, to get a more balanced view. Parents have gripes about education, kids have gripes, and so do teachers. Most of the time, though we sit on opposite sides of the desk, they seem to be identical.

Some discussions or remarks should be limited to the dinner table with your family, not shared with the entire world on Facebook. I may post a favorite musician's work on FB or a quote that appealed to me. I'm very private, so most of my life is not on Facebook. It's a very digital age "social networking" tool. It's a great way for families to keep in touch as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-53439747409812937472010-02-21T21:30:46.215-05:002010-02-21T21:30:46.215-05:00Maybe my problem is lack of friends.

I use it to share photos and interesting articles I find with lots of my friends, and also give people who care a brief update on my life, without having to contact them all individually. It works for me, and helps me keep in touch with some friends who prefer sharing that way to other modalities.mathmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869925405540832241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-67432904203264196882010-02-21T19:50:09.148-05:002010-02-21T19:50:09.148-05:00Some people have a reason for it and yours makes s...Some people have a reason for it and yours makes sense.

Previously we used photo sites, e-mails, blogs, to keep up with each other. We are spread across 3 continents and about 6 countries. <br /><br />With Facebook, we can put it in one place. We have group conversations about public things and use private messages for none public things. <br /><br />The cousins by the way cover 3 generations with a 4th rapidly coming up. We have adapted as a family to new tech.<br /><br />It used to be handwritten letters. Then it was letters + Long Distance phone calls on big days. Then it was letters and long distance phone calls a couple times a month. Next letters were replaced by e-mails. Now we facebook and Skype. <br /><br />My 5 yo niece refers to her cousins that live in the computer - just like Sis and I used to talk about our cousins that live in the sky at about the same age. <br /><br />People would ask Dad why we didn't just drive to PEI, Canada. He would say that is impossible you have to fly up to the island. Meaning - he didn't want to wait days for the ferry or deal with sis and I in the back seat for that long.<br /><br />Sis and I in that little kid logic thought it meant that Canada was literally above the US and you had to fly up like taking an elevator. We knew the world was a globe we just had a vision of layers floating above each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
