“I’m not a huge fan of social networking sites”

Sounds like you have been converted. Facebook will suck you in, just like all of us other alleged resisters.

Personally, I can't be bothered with the networking groups but I am not one to toy with fate, so Kudos and good to meet a fellow writer. I enjoy your blog immensly.

I haven't made the jump and I don't plan to. I don't know about you, but I had been using IM and chatting programs back in 1994 when I was in university. When I started working in front of a computer full time, a bit later on, I decided to uninstall all those programs, because I was wasting too much time on them. There is no way to just get on your computer, as soon as you logged on, you were getting people talking to you via IM. Recently, about 7 years later, I installed some IM programs to chat with buddies from Canada. My wife just got onto the whole facebook thing.

I have a MySpace page, but it's just not as much fun as the blog, and 90% of my time spent on it is cleaning out spam. I don't touch Friendster. The only person of note who ever found me on that service was a guy who almost burned down my best friend's house (whole family inside) as part of what he thought would be a clever prank. Fortunately, his pyrotechnic ability was about as evolved as his social skills. That was about the end of my Friendstering. I get the Facebook invites, too, and it is a bit tempting to join.
