So, despite the fact that I work for such a cutting edge, innovative company, the entire world of Facebook has eluded me. Why would I want to connect with people that I no longer talk to (I’m sure I had a very good reason for not keeping in touch), or find yet ANOTHER way to communicate to the people that I talk to everyday. It all felt very silly. Until 2 days ago. That is when my best friend Ali (also a Facebook virgin…to the point that she referred to Facebook as “the Facebook”) mentioned that she had heard a mutual friend of ours was engaged. How would we ever be able to find this information out, aside from the obvious way of just asking said friend directly? Facebook! So, we logged on, and found ourselves searching for hours for old friends, old prom dates, old JUNIOR prom dates…the list was endless. It was frustrating to not be able to be a true voyeur without befriending someone, which reminded me greatly of my ex-roomate’s Match.com obsession and her endless tales of “winking” at people. But, curiosity got the best of me, so out went dozens of requests for friendship. Before I knew it, I was receiving updates, and talking to people I hadn’t thought about in years. Just this morning, I had my first awww moment from Facebook, as I reconnected with my best friend from sleep-away camp. We’re meeting for drinks next week, all thanks to this odd little thing that I think might be catching on! I’ll keep updating this blog with new Facebook tales from Ali and I. Stay tuned….who knows, we might discover Twitter next.
