Earlier this week, I joined Facebook at the request of a friend. There are quite a few Catters on there, and it first it was great fun. Now, the fun is fading fast. I know there are some in here who are Facebookers who frequent this thread. What I find so limiting about it is that what passes for conversations are one sentence (or if someone is feeling verbose, two sentence posts every day or so.
The kitchen table it ain't. I'm quickly finding a distinct resemblance between collecting friends of Facebook with keeping a list of all the birds I've seen, back when I was a semi-serious bird watcher. The only other comparison that comes to mind is collecting baseball cards, except that there's more information on the back of a baseball card than many folks on Facebook post. Besides, if you had a few clothes pins you could clip your baseball cards to the spokes on the wheel of your bike and make it sound like a motorcyle.

Anyone else have any thoughts about Facebook. It's pleasant enough, but I really enjoy getting to know people. That's hard to do reading one sentence every two or three days.
