First Facebook Blog

Archive of the first Facebook blog

So, here it is... not much to say yet, but, the fact that I can now blog on Facebook means I finally have no reason to stay with MySpace. So, I've all but nuked MySpace. My profile is still up, just so the few friends who I might actually want to talk to there know that I'm deleting my account. Hopefully some will come over here.

Actually, to be honest, I hope only some come over here. It's not that I don't want to talk to people... quite the contrary, I do want to talk to people. I have 60-odd friends here, I can actually talk to them... really keep in touch with them. On MySpace, I had 496 friends. Who has 496 friends?!? Actually, even when I went on and deleted every profile that wasn't an actual person I actually knew... I still have 190 friends.

That's great. I guess it's cool that I'm friends with 190 people... but to make reasonable contact with 190 people... not possible. So I'm happy here. 60 friends... even better, some family... I can say hi, send them a "drink"... basically put, and to borrow from the jargon of such sites, I can "Socially Network". I like it.

In the coming month, I'll probably drag over some of my blogs from the MySpace days, and hopefully have some new things to say here. When it comes right down to it, it was blogging that first brought me to MySpace in the first place. Now MySpace is out of control, but I still love to write.

So, here it is. Welcome to my blog.
