I signed up for Facebook almost two years ago just because I could. I sent a few friend requests to some people I knew and accepted a couple of others. I configured it so that my blog would also post to Facebook and that my Twitter stream would update my Facebook status. I’d check Facebook every once in a while, but there was very little going on. I’d tell people about Facebook, but that was about it, until a couple of weeks ago.

Now Facebook has become a happening place. My brother and one of my sisters has a Facebook page. Quite a few nephews and nieces are on there as well. A couple of my children and their spouses have Facebook pages. I’m enjoying the connection. In fact Facebook is getting enough of a play in our family that my mother now has a Facebook page. She doesn’t know what to do with it, yet, but that’s coming soon. Facebook has finally become fun.
