I’ve recently discovered what a great asset the Facebook social network is for keeping up with people. 

It really is the only way to know what is going on with my daughter working in Nigeria.  And I just added an old school friend whom I see whenever I visit my mother in Chicago.

I just read that her husband had been in a cycling accident and I was able to sent my get well wishes.  I wouldn’t have known that if we did not connect in that social networking site.

My mother taught me to write letters and send hand written thank you notes.  I still send the “thank yous” in writing by mail, but keeping up by letter is a huge time drag.  Even my mother emails these days, as my daughter made her get a computer and learn.  I sometimes have to go into her email and help her straighten it out, but by-and-large she does pretty well, and she’s in her upper 80’s.

I have to laugh when people in their 50’s tell me they’re much to old to learn!

I had gone for months not looking at Facebook.  I rarely go into Myspace.  I do Facebook more regularly now and need to get back to the many friends I made on Myspace.  I also “tweet” on Twitter, which shows up on Facebook.

I have even set up a Facebook account for my other daughter.  We talk nearly every day.  She does not type or have access to the internet except at my house.  I plan to have her tell me what she wants to say and we’ll get her going.

I wonder if I should set up account for the birds, meaning my blue-headed pionus parrots Sueño and Gracie.  The former has a page on Birdchannel.com, the web site of Bird Talk magazine.  He’s on most of my business cards and labels and even on this blog.  He’s in some of my YouTube videos.  He’s a star – why not?

Great place to network, whether for personal or for business.  It’s, well, networking.

Wishing you great use out of your Facebook account,
