This includes social media. I agree that the majority is abusing facebook (and suffer the consequences). Personally I am an active user, but I am very selective about how I use it. When I am out on a multiday adventure, I generally dont even bother checking on my social media. If I had children I would discourage (or prohibit) their use of facebook and similar tools. Great post!

I saw that we were connected through my blog. I announced my new domain a month ago but I haven’t seen you there yet.
Please show some love to ‘Things To Rave About’ (http://toraveabout.com) which is just BBT at a new address.
Hoping to see you there. Thanks!

I don’t have an email to reach you.
Awkward, I know. But FB won’t even let me look at our old conversations. Anyway, if you wouldn’t mind shooting me and email so I can start sending questions your way.
Thank you!
Leila

Instead of bringing happy feelings, it was often a reason for feeling depressed/confused with the number of posts, the lack or cohesion between them, and, as somebody mentioned here, finding out how ‘wonderful’ the world was presented to others, when, in fact, it very likely, wasn’t… it was too much for the show, but again, who likes it, please, enjoy its features… and be happy! :o Take care, Raquel.

I’m getting sick of Facebook too. Like Gilly I use it to promote my blog, but I’ve found no one really ever clicks on the link from there. So… Maybe I should consider doing the same. I think it is kind of depressing looking at everyone’s lives and thinking everything is so wonderful when it probably isn’t. :-)

I am a homebody and like it that way. Your blog gives me an outlet, or should I say “inlet” to go beyond my current state of mind if not body. Have left Facebook and then returned since I started writing poetry that I want others to see. Encouraging others to find my blog and read it is helped by posting on Facebook. Just learning how to use both. Learning them is taking more time than I imagined and time away from my other homemaker duties and caring for my husband of 55 years. I’ll be visiting often to read your former posts. Thank you.

I also like to know how my family is doing [we've got family scattered around several countries], and I also enjoy sharing pics of my growing kids with family/friends. I’ve got nothing against FB – again, a very powerful social tool, when well-used. What I disagree is with its misuse, the mixed ideas that come with the ‘status updates’, the need people may feel to ‘show a better profile than their neighbor’s/friends/acquaintances’ – life shouldn’t be a social competition, for crying out loud… :o Life is already so hard on itself, we don’t need to ‘create’ an alternative reality, and yet, fight to appear ‘socially better’ than others… But that’s just my very humble personal opinion, and no one should take my advice [luckily, I'm not offering any!] on how to deal with their FB profiles… if one likes/needs it, go for it… and be happy! :o
