Thanks for the positive feedback.<br /><br />The problem, though, with blogging, facebook and twitter is that I'm always conscious that I'm putting my stuff out there in public, so hold back on some of the personal stuff. That I save for email and private facebook messages.<br /><br />For me, the balance is that I can keep up with so many people at once -- on facebook, especially. Up until recently, I've have a really hard time keeping up with my large and scattered extended family. But facebook has made it possible for me to interact with them all way more often than I used to. And I like hearing about more than just the births, graduations, marriages and deaths.<br /><br />It does take some work, though I'm pleased so far with the update facebook put out there yesterday. I think it will make it easier to filter past the stuff I don't care about. And I've been using groups for a while, so that if I get swamped or overwhelmed, I can still check on smaller groups of my peeps (like "family" and "friends") while ignoring the larger crowd.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391518269613728994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-5808139254581922742009-10-23T07:46:57.955+02:002009-10-23T07:46:57.955+02:00I still don't like Facebook. Here's the th...I still don't like Facebook. Here's the thing with both it and Twitter: If you truly want to keep with everyone you friend or follow, you have to spend a lot of time doing it. Facebook has become the modern equivalent of having an old address book with ancient and new entries, and you never clean it out - just in case. But do we actually stay in touch, keep up with each other? No.<br /><br />Alice, I miss our e-mails, and I miss the blogs of people I now hardly see on Facebook. It was easier to keep track of where people were at in their lives then.<br /><br />That said, thank you for still having a blog, Alice!Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-85347213931964735402009-10-23T04:49:28.294+02:002009-10-23T04:49:28.294+02:00I'm coming in late in this discussion, but I h...I'm coming in late in this discussion, but I have to point out that you liked neither facebook nor twitter when you first tried them, so maybe google wave will grow on you as well. Or maybe not.

It's meant to replace e-mail. But if you are also expected to respond in real time, it doesn't really behave like e-mail. But I guess "Can't talk right now" works. There, too. :-)Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-1795064310369233772009-10-04T19:46:15.492+02:002009-10-04T19:46:15.492+02:00If you're old, then so am I.

FWIW, YMMV, IMNSHO and all that. ;)SolSionnachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018919606074858784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-79182830978992893482009-10-04T14:55:15.086+02:002009-10-04T14:55:15.086+02:00I figured out what you meant. :-)I figured out what you meant. :-)Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-11814965692505371872009-10-04T14:54:55.202+02:002009-10-04T14:54:55.202+02:00I learn about it from Twitter. :-) I'm curious...I learn about it from Twitter. :-) I'm curious about new technologies, but I have never been an "early adopter". Let other people fuss with the bugs.<br /><br />I wonder if there is some way to say no to a chat invite without it seeming rude. Some think it's rude to appear online if you aren't actually available, and they do have a point.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-22001248115480823132009-10-04T14:51:55.137+02:002009-10-04T14:51:55.137+02:00Ok, sorry about the typos!
