Facebook isn’t new.\u00a0 It is a digital re-creation of the Spanish paseo, the urban stoop in the summer, Sunday morning church services or the small town front porch.\u00a0 It allows you to see and be seen in a larger community.\u00a0 It opens you up to all comers.\u00a0 It allows you to transmit not just data but texture.\u00a0 You can choose how you present yourself to the world or you can just watch the world go by.<\/p>\n

I love Facebook.\u00a0 I own some of their stock.\u00a0 I post something almost every day.\u00a0 Some would say I post too much.\u00a0 On the other hand some of my friends won’t even open Facebook accounts and I understand.\u00a0 My Father wouldn’t get television until 1962.\u00a0 I disagreed then and I disagree now but I understand.\u00a0 The world changes no matter what you think.\u00a0 It adapts to new technology but the basic needs to communicate, entertain and signal stay the same.<\/p>\n

So I say embrace the new technology.\u00a0 Put up a new picture.\u00a0 Go and sit on your metaphorical stoop.\u00a0 Let people know you “like” something.<\/p>\n
