Brammers: Oh god, apparently five of my friends have invited me to be on Facebook.

Brammers' young friend: OMIGOD! I can't believe you're not on Facebook! You should totally be there!

B: I'm old, dear, the first number in my age is a four.

BYF: You're NOT old. And besides, my mum is in her forties and she's on Facebook.

B: I'm old and I have no children I need to stalk on Facebook. Also, I'll just be over there having a little cry for the next few minutes ...



Back to the work, editing and writing. Slowly catching up!

I have a FB account because it gives old friends and my extended family a way to keep in contact without any of us actually having to track addresses (email or post) and phone numbers. Having the account is different from actually *posting* anything on FB, though: I mostly don't bother with that bit. It's mostly just an online Christmas Card list.

I don't understand the appeal of Twitter: if I'm doing something so interesting that I really feel the need to tell the world (v.rare), then I'm going to need more than 140 characters to talk about it anyway.

Hee. You, like kareina, are one of the few people I know who would use it sanely.

Twitter is great for I am Here, Where Are You? and I Have A Short and Hilarious Comment To Make, but that's about it ...
