When I first heard of MySpace it was pretty much just a place for musicians to communicate with their fans. When teenagers started using it en masse for posting pictures of themselves using bathroom mirrors and to talk shit about people at their high school, I decided I didn’t care about MySpace. But I created a profile anyway and added some friends.

I hated MySpace. The layout and interface were horrible. It wasn’t fun to use at all. And then I heard about this ‘FaceBook’ thing.

I think FaceBook was for college students at first. But it soon morphed into the de facto social networking site for users of all ages. My buddy’s pre-teen son in Chico uses it. My 60-something year old uncle uses it. And lately, I’ve been using FaceBook a lot.

I use FaceBook so much now that I’ve neglected my blog. FaceBook makes it easy to post quick updates and pictures. And, since sooo many friends and family members use it, it’s easy to see what they’re up to as well.

I’m neglecting another thing that I used to be pretty good about too–e-mail. I used to fire off countless e-mails each day to friends and family. But now, since they’re all on FaceBook, I just use FaceBook’s built-in messaging. I can post a public message by writing on their “wall”, or send a private message easily.

So that’s where I’ve been. Look for me on FaceBook–search for “Thomas Roger Bissell”. See you there!
