Recently I’ve had several invitations from old friends to join Facebook (or rather, they have already “added me as a friend on Facebook”). With all the Ringo, Plaxo, MySpace and other social sites coming up, I had dismissed all but the social networking site LinkedIn, because I simply wouldn’t have the time to keep up! If I can’t even find the time to respond to my personal mail, barely make time for the blog and photo site, then why would I make my life more cluttered and add myself to Facebook as well? If any of you can give me a good reason, am happy to hear it. Until someone convinces me, I will silently ignore the requests … maybe I’ll save them in a separate folder though, so that if some day I decide to join, those loyal friends who already added me “as friends” will be the first to get a response.
For what it’s worth, long lost friends will get back in touch with each other no matter what. Testified by me reconnecting with my first best friend who moved to Chile when we were still in elementary school, who I lost touch with again and again, and now we have each other’s updated details again, through search and persistence!
