facebook

I think I've started something within my household. I opened my blog just over a week ago. For those of you who read my first post, you'll remember that it was a stretch for me...learning the new technology and dipping my toes into the new century. It has been good, don't get me wrong. But I knew nothing about blogging before jumping in.

So, last night before bed I came to the computer to see what my husband was working on. About an hour earlier I caught him looking at plans for kids' playhouses and backyard play structures. He had actually gone so far as to render a 3D image using his Inventor software...very impressive. So, that's what I expected to see. But he had moved on.

He was responding to a dear friend (the cool ventriloquist at our wedding) on his facebook account. Facebook?!?

Not another new technology! Yes, I think I started something. Not to be outdone, my husband opened a facebook account.

Two summers ago I was a youth camp counselor at Camp Mack. The girls in my cabin wrote their myspace accounts on the cabin walls with permanent marker and would say "Find me on myspace." Not only did I not find them, but I still don't know what it is. The only description I ever heard was "It's a social networking site." And frankly, that didn't help. For a girl who would rather use a walkman because she doesn't know what MP3 is, you're gonna have to go into a more thorough discussion.

So, I'd like to know...what can any of you in blog world share with me about facebook? Talk slowly and assume I know nothing. Because, in reality I know nothing.
