Canoe,

Sorry to hear this.

How will I be able to show you photos of my dog dressed up for Halloween in a Darth Vader costume....?

I'm with all of you that agreed with CanoeRebel.

Apart from struggling to come to terms with the new fangled technology of Bathchairs and Eartrumpets, the technological revolution has left me far behind.....

Facebook? Tweeting??
Bah humbug to them all, just another way of trying to extract more money out of people by ever more devious means.

Now where did I leave my chalk and slate.....??

3 Court cases I have attended as witness including sexual assault all involved terrible facebook posts.

I am on face book though but never put anything remotely personal there or express an opinion. Remember free speach / Its only what the authorites cannot do you for that is free. They are watching you all through face book and twitter - maybe this as well?

If you are interested in me, I suggest you stop by Zulu HQs O club on a Thursday evening. Should Thursday evenings be inconvienent, I may be found near a Vespa at the local pub or winery on nice weekend evenings. You would actually be able to talk with me.

If you were my Facebook friend you could see a picture of me in a diaper.

I find that older users tend away from the "what I had for dinner" stuff and more toward life events, family news, and politics. I have found dozens of folks I once had in my life but have lost touch with. I don't always contact them, but it's nice to see how things turned out for them. Just tonight I found an old college buddy I haven't spoken to since the early 80s. Found out his mother died a week ago. I won't contact him, but I find these sorts of signposts of time to be interesting and to fill in life's gaps.

Status: offline 		Respectfully, Twitter is about who you follow. Follow eedjits and you get eedjit comments. Follow the right people and you get fantastic material - choose your 'friends' wisely. When I was working I had over 500 fellow professionals feeding me information, ideas and the latest research/ developments. Best professional linkages in my whole career.

I suspect the same can be said of Facebook - which I use to keep up to date on organisations and places I am interested in.

Beware sweeping generalisations

I second the Moose's sentiments. I've reconnected with a bunch of old friends from school and my time in the military. It's been a blast for me.

"Blasts" come in many flavors. A Facebook friend I once had quite a bit of sex with recently became a grandmother. Not only is one, she looks like one. Sobering in its own right. Fortunately, I have not changed a whit.

As I look up old school friends I'm reminded of that great line from "Grosse Pointe Blank", delivered by Joan Cusack. It's to the effect that when she went to her HS reunion all the people "seemd to have SWELLED."
