Thing 9: More Facebook

I went and found friends. It seems many of them have a Facebook account. I made sure to let them know I won't be contacting them a lot through Facebook since, let's face it, I simply don't have the time to check regular e-mails plus Facebook.

I also became a fan of a group called "IDA - In defense of animals" and learnt more abhorrent (or should I just say unethical?) acts done to defenseless animals. I can't process the horrors committed to cats and dogs in the name of better taste and virility.

And finally, yes, I did join tree groups: "Stop the Seal Killers", "Animal Welfare" and "VEDA - Volunteers in defense of animals".

Joining Facebook has been a bit traumatic for me. I am a private person and although I tried to set up my privacy configuration to the minimum I found out that no matter how much you try -- by just sending an e-mail-- Facebook somehow is able to trace the names and offer them as your possible friends. Then some of your friends write incessantly and suddenly you have tons of comments to read.
It has been an experience... one I don't know I will be able to keep up with!

I guess now I will be able to answer some questions regarding Facebook and hopefully help some of our library's patrons.

Thing 8: Facebook

Up until now I had enjoyed all the things, a little reluctant at the beginning but as I got a bit of confidence then I had a very good time working with them.
I opened a Facebook account while on vacation on my aunt's PC. Although it is very easy to open an account I don't like the idea of everyone peering into my life, or portions of it. I am very private and can't understand people wanting to share personal information, and photographs!, through the web. Since I forgot my password and which e-mail account I used now I have to retrace my steps and see if I can do something to recover it in order to continue with the next Thing! or open a new account ...

I will try Thing 9 as long as I can be as anonymous as possible but if not... I am in a predicament.
