I started a facebook page about 2 years ago. I haven't been back in about 22 months. It seemed kind of pointless, and people were putting things that were way too personal on there. Of course, I've had lots of old friends get in touch with me by conventional means to ask why I haven't updated my page in so long. So, it's had it's uses.

I find it interesting that whenever you hear about a crime, some mention is made of both the victim's and the perpetrator's Facebook pages. Looking at some of the things people put on there, do they really want that as their final message to the world should they fall victim to a crime today?

If anything, I'm surprised that I still have anything to write about on my blog. I figured after a year I'd give up out of a lack of anything more to say. But I'm also finding Facebook useful too. Go figure.

I think your right Jason, I see a lot of Christians dropping out of the blogosphere as well as they run out of stuff. The people who're hanging around for the long haul, who are churning out content reliably and avoiding burnout, tend to have more to offer than just rants.

I'm not sure whether it's amusing or annoying that the conversation I was hoping would get started on my blog wound up happening here instead.

But Deb is right. I do sleep a lot. My serious writing energy, when I have it, goes into books and articles. I've always been better at brief summations or long explorations. The in-between size of blog posts is more of a challenge. I really admire people who do it well, as you three do.

I find Facebook very valuable for networking, promo, and setting up gigs. And I've gotten back in touch with old friends from decades past.

I tried FB at one point but I can't stand the interface. To me it's a wasteland; there's no substance and nobody really seems to be saying anything. I prefer my LJ and even my Searching for Imbas blog, which doesn't get updated very often. I see my spirituality as deeply intertwined with my daily life so I post about everything on the LJ and occasional specific CR topics on SFI. To me FB and MySpace are more sound-bytes than actual conversation.
