Social networking week 7, what a pain

A few months ago a young friend bullied me into setting up a Facebook page and I inadvertantly tagged all my gmail contacts as friends - whoops, ended up with my ex as a friend (which begs the question, why did he confirm me as a friend?) So now my young friend occasionally posts embarrassing entries on my wall in the hopes of annoying him. Dear, dear.

Social networking is fun?

Social networking is dangerous. It has already been implicated in at least one well-publicised suicide. It's fun enough when used innocently, but has become a new way to bully that out-classes anything before.



Oh, one odd bit of small world trivia - Hennepin County Library was once my home library system. Long ago and far away, the little library on the prairie, now all grown up on facebook.
