Comments on: Facebook 101 http://www.momwithapen.com/facebook-101/ There are things in this life worth remembering; motherhood is one of them. This is the creative haven for a great group of moms with a passion for living, laughing and flailing words of...er, wisdom.

I haven't been on Myspace either. I think I logged in the other day though... funny, I had forgotten there were so many people that I was Myspace friends with...that I've actually missed THEIR blogs! I need to reconnect... Oh, and I am SO not saying that social networking isn't great...but that, just like in real life, we all have boundaries.

In fact, you and I met through Myspace. To be honest, I haven't been there in a while, because I've been doing most of my social networking through Facebook. The cool thing about it is that you get to reconnect with people you haven't seen in years, like old Army buddies and even high school teachers (I reconnected with my beloved high school choir teacher through FB). I like the social networking thing, but as you mentioned, some people take it to extremes that they really don't need to go to. I don't give a damn about the Facebook games, but 90% of my "friends" on FB are addicted to the things and want to share their geekiness with the world. The cool thing about it all is meeting people that you never knew existed but have a lot in common with, and the social networking friendships can sometimes bloom into real friendships.
