I’m offsite now and the only passwords I can remember are to the BoB Blog. So this is my network connection–I should make every account the same, but then I’d be violating all that OPSEC stuff I was taught.

The Wall in FB is the latest posting of you and your “friends” … Home in FB is just your latest posting.

A lot of people like to amass as many friends as possible–you don’t have to accept. FB is like having a conversation at the BX with some of your friends–a lot of other people might listen in. So don’t say something you wouldn’t mind any passer byer hearing. Not that you’ve ever been dissauded from speaking your mind.

This Blog is more private, like talking around a table in hanger 2. It’s still subject to people walking by and listening if they’ve a mind to–but in doing so they know they’ve ventured into a less public place.

The people you’ve mention probably never read this site–but they could if they wanted to.

Facebook is a great place to “get noticed,” which makes it attractive for writers and aspiring politicans. It is also a wonderful despository of public inspiration and information. You can filter your friends by limiting access to folks you really know/want to know and you can always delete a “friend” that post material you don’t approve.

I agree that FB, like blogging, can take much of your time. Time better invested into writing your next novel, building your next science project, or looking for jobs.

Don’t stay away from the computer for long periods of time because we all appreciate hearing about your life–as we no longer have the TAR Pit.
