Social Networking Delima

To facebook or not to facebook? Twitter, myspace, LinkedIN, etc. The list goes on and on with the social networking sites... but what service do they actually provide? I love checking out my facebook a couple times a day to see whats new, who's dating who, who had a baby, who got married, who broke up, etc. But, what benefit does that actually give me. In recent discussions with the bf privacy has become an issue. Not sure that being so open with my life is exactly the way to go. But, there are pros and cons. Pros : get to see what everyone else is up to, stay in touch with friends and family who aren't close, post fun and happy activities, "spy" on boss' kids and really have some brainless activity every once in awhile. Cons: its addicting, takes time away from work and life, makes the bf feel like his privacy is violated, gives anyone a view into your life. Do the pros out weigh the cons? That question I have yet to answer, but for now I am deactivated and off the world wide web for awhile.

What will be interesting to see is if I have withdrawals and if people even notice. We are all so busy in own lives I'm not even sure it will make a difference.



In other news I made my first cornish hens for dinner last night. They were really good just too much work for such little reward. I've decided to expand my cooking abilities and experiment with different dishes... Bobby should probably brace himself.
