Why? Because I can keep in touch in with old friends. I used to work for the world's greatest research firm - unfortunately it was not a money making model and we got acquired by a much more successful organization. It's a great gig - believe me. I had to leave and come back to realize it. Still, the friends that I made at the old company have turned out to be some of the most cherished that I have. We may only see each other occasionally, but when we do, the years fall away.
Anyway....back to Facebook - the best part of this is that we stay in touch via Facebook - we were and are, a force of geeks and Facebook works for us. We can keep tabs on each other...and because of this, I was able to connect with my pal Paul, whom I adore, to let him know that I'll be in his neck of the woods for a business trip. Paul, because of the ease that Facebook allows, (or they may actually TALK to each other, but I can keep with my train of thought) Paul to reach out to one of my all time favorite guys Slaby, to get together and have dinner at a wonderful Boston tapas place. Isn't technology a wonderful thing?? This will make my whole trip :)

I have to admit that I don't get facebook. My kids use it and I guess that is it. I have always felt it was just for the kids. I have friends who keep inviting me but so far I've resisted. I hesitate to get caught up in one more thing that will take up all my spare time. Reading things like this make me think I am missing something. Maybe I'll take a look. Enjoy your time with old friends. They are the best!
I love connecting with old friends on Facebook...I've reconnected with friends from Preschool. How crazy is that? I hope you have a wonderful trip with your friends :)
Well, not WITH but when you get to see them and hang out. :)
