this week's guffaws

I saw this posted on someone's Facebook page... and it was quite possibly the funniest take on FB that I've heard yet. After listening to a bit on Weekend Edition this morning about the role FB plays in business-- think executives younger than the majority of their workforce requiring employees to be present on FB-- and I am still mulling over my own personal thoughts about this. I use FB, but I can't tell you how many friends I have, and I don't poke or throw objects at anyone, quite honestly, I routinely 'ignore' all the requests that end up on my page. I like to look at other people's statuses, and the main function I use is simply to send messages to people I haven't seen in years and years.

That being said, lovely hubby refuses to join Facebook. I think this video quite humorously portrays some of the stuff that simply confounds him about the whole thing. And not only is it accurately funny, but it has British accents that up the humor factor even more.

    I, too, refuse to join Facebook. Facebook and Twitter I just can't "get" the appeal of. Otherwise, I'm pretty technically connected -- blogging, LinkedIn, instant messaging, our company wiki, all of these I "get" and participate in. But Facebook, no thanks.

    That is GREAT. And while I'm on Facebook. And I have too many friends (how do you unfriend someone without insulting them or them noticing?) but I haven't logged on in awhile... fortunately it's more fun and something that I don't get too into. It is way cool to see what people I've drifted away from unintentionally are up to now. Some of them I regret drifting from. But yeah... Mr Schoolteacher Husband? Won't. Go. Near. It. And I don't blame him!

    @Michelle, I wand to unfriend some folks too, without insulting of course.

    I like that I've networked with some friends from high school and college, but the whole wall thing and photos is so public. watching this clip made me chuckle and feel squeamish at the same time. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK
