I’m on facebook.  I check it about as often as someone wants to add me as a friend.  At least a day or two after I notice the email.  I guess what I’m saying is that I probably don’t use facebook like it was intended.  For me, it’s more of a bookmark service to find old friends.  I don’t write on the “wall” much.  I dont’ really join groups and I don’t really check the updates of my friends.  Twitter is easier for me to get to and I use that for mostly technical feeds.  But some people use it quite extensively.  Compulsively.  Dare I say, inappropriately.  In the first issue of The Printed Blog, I ran across this posting.  It’s an interesting examination of how “social networking” is invading all aspects of our lives.  Even those that really shouldn’t include a computer.
