Fleshing out

i'm a total square....

i tried to go and flesh out my facebook page. i just kept wondering why i would want to do any of this. i swear i know how to have fun, i swear. i just can't get into taking little surveys and poking my friends. and it is a lot of effort for me to find things i would like to get into on facebook. i had a much better time with flickr. the photos are pretty, easy to find and give lots of good info. i love finding stuff on youtube for the same reason. i remember being really excited about friendster when it first came out and i got in touch with a bunch of friends. i just kinda stopped looking at it one day.

i consume too much stuff already. i actively seek out ways to be less excited and look at less information. with facebook i feel like i'm looking at a lot of ads and doodads and not seeing the point.

it's cool that so many people are excited and express themselves. that in itself is fun for me to see and i appreciate just knowing about it.

maybe i'm missing the point and not digging deep enough for interesting things to look at on facebook. i would like to use the excuse that i'm too old - however, many of my peers love this stuff. i can theorize about how it is useful as a professional tool to stay in tune with what our patrons are doing and reach out to them. in reality, facebook just doesn't speak to me.
