CPL 2.0 Social networking sites

I think facebook is a bit of a time "eater" for me at this stage in my life. I can see the appeal of being able to connect with people you haven't heard from in years, but I just don't have the time to put into it. I do admit, it was interesting to see the members of my high school grad class who are on facebook, especially those profiles with pictures, but at least half of the profiles that came up weren't from my grad class (since we only had about 120 grads, it's easy to remember who was and who wasn't). I was amused to see the picture of one of the guys -- really, Ken, you have a slight resemblance to Kevin Costner, but not enough to justify putting his photo on your profile!

My family members are not really into computers -- my parents have an Internet connection that they never use, and although my siblings have the Internet, they are not that interested in computers -- so it is not like I would use facebook to keep up with family news. Perhaps it is a generational thing.

I tried to add myself as a fan of CPL, but I'm not sure it worked. I did add a post to the wall, however.

No book recommendations this week -- I'm still reading, but haven't finished since last Friday!
