I don't do Twitter

I readily admit it. I don't do twitter. No tweets from me. Don't look for them anytime soon. Its not that I don't have anything to say, but I really would rather waste time in more unproductive ways. Got that?

Social networking is one of those things that you either get into or you don't. I don't do myspace, I won't do twitter. I have the free classmates.com account which is pretty much worthless for connecting with people. I just don't feel the need to broadcast my life beyond blogger. Yes I do blog.

Next summer will be my 25th high school reunion. Holy crap! I look back at the 20th reunion and well it kinda sucked. The 2 or 3 close friends I had in high school did not attend. In fact I had long ago lost contact. The person I most wanted to come had disappeared long ago. Recently while in Las Vegas I got one of those emails from classmates.com that teases about a new member. You know the type that says someone you know just signed up. Only I have never recognized the names of any of those people. I just assumed they were bogus attempts to get me to upgrade my account. So with plenty of time I logged in thru my blackberry and what do you know, but I recognized the name. It was a person I'd lost contact with. Once I returned home I sent a message thru their system figuring it would never get thru and a few days later I got a response. Fast forward a couple months and we've had a chance to catch up.

Yesterday I signed up on Facebook.
