Thing 16

I set up a Facebook awhile back, mostly as a joke for my daughter. Then some of her friends wanted to be my friend, and then some real adult people joined Facebook and became my friends. So I've just kept my account going. I never changed my profile, which is all goofy because I initially did it as a joke. But I've grown to like my profile so I refuse to change it. I'm not a huge fan of sights like this, and I pretty much only hop on my Facebook when I get an e-mail notification that someone posted on my wall or gave me a gift or something like that. But I know that younger people live on these sights and if I were quite a bit younger I'm sure it would be more appealing to me because it is an easy way to keep in touch with your friends and see what they're doing. It's kind of crazy because my daughter will request to be friends with some famous person and they just accept anyone as their friend. I'm assuming some peon deals with that for them, but she thinks it's really cool. Most of the kids also have a My Space page too, but right now Facebook seems to be the more popular site. I also set up a Dogbook page for Ruby and she has some dog friends! That's why she's smiling in this pic!

I intially didn't join any groups because, as I said, I just set my account up goofing around. But now I have joined my high school class group because they are having a reunion and they keep bugging everyone to join their group. I think if MCPL had a Facebook it would be popular with younger teenagers, but who knows there could be a wider appeal. Since I've joined I've found out that more and more adults are on Facebook.
