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!!

I have a facebook account but I don’t use it very often, mainly because there aren’t that many people I don’t got on our national variant (Hyves.nl)
I’ll have a browse for Mr Lee without poking you
Arjan´s last blog ..Good and bad news
It’s OK I tracked you down instead
Maybe I should get on Hyves – that would make me cool and obscure here?
Yeah, I have a few of those “friends” – mostly people I knew in high school whom I felt pressured to accept by the fact that they were friends of other friends I had already accepted. It’s all very stupid. The good parts make up for that, though. I’ve already had a couple of in-person reunions with friends I truly missed, solely because of FB. It’s also a decent way to keep in touch with my brother-in-law, in the Army.
I’ll be looking you up, because I’m working on my celebrity stalking skills and I don’t want to start too high profile in case I screw it up.

Please do as I would like to practise being stalked
I culled most of those people last night actually, people whom I have no malice against and I’m really happy that they’re doing well and have families and stuff but I just don’t have anything in common or to do with them apart from having gone to school together.
Happily, I remain ignorant/innocent of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, all that kind of thing…
Though it’s probably only a matter of time

I feel a little obligated due to my profession, of course social media is a lot bigger than just Facebook
actually it’s bigger than any of those tools!
I’m still a Twitter advocate.
