Whilst I am a social media professional I must admit that there are times, long, dark times that I really don’t get Facebook, no I mean I get what Facebook does and is and how it can be leveraged to help you promote yourself and to keep in contact with friends and all that stuff.
Personally though I really don’t use Facebook well. There has been times when I have shut down my account and then come back to it feeling like I’m ready to start fresh with the service and of course you don’t because the good people at Facebook don’t actually delete your account they just stick it in carbonite and hang it in Jabba’s palace until Leia arrives to dust it off and reanimate it exactly as it was before.
And once again people are asking me if I’m a pirate or a ninja or a werewolf and they’re sending me drinks and asking me what plant I’d be and people who haven’t seen me in fifteen years are voting for me as best person to live with despite the fact that they have never lived with me and blah!
Please don’t tell me that I can block all that stuff, I know, I just haven’t gotten around to it in fact I have to do a major clean up of my Facebook account. I’ve got a bunch of people on there that I have known in the past but don’t talk to now and probably never will which unfortunately helps taint Facebook for me.
The following video is really just wonderful and I completely get where she is coming from! There is some swearing so send the kids and the olds out of the room:
I’ve also got to work out a couple of other things over on Facebook but if you too are on there and would like to be my friend (please don’t poke me) send me a friend request but tell me who you are!!
