It's when people start thinking it's real life, real communication and letting it substitute for real connections that it gets hairy. <br /><br />Though about as INTROVERTED as one can be without just turning inside out, I actually enjoy the "stage" - both the real one and the flakebook one. <br /><br />However, I too have had at times concerns about the nutjobs, the stalkers, the corporate creeps who might actually use what I post against me. I find the BLOCK function to be useful, and no desire to explain (and really? why would ANYONE ever ASK why they were unfriended?!

I used to be on Facebook too and it created some very awkward moments in my personal life - it has this terrible tendency to erase normal social boundaries - friends, family, coworkers, friends of friends, all in the same soup bowl. And yes, it does take a lot of effort to be "on" all the time, while also posting to an entire undifferentiated group at once.<br /><br />Here's to the real world, warts and all...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
