I really don't get a lot out of Facebook at all - but pop in every now and again to see if perhaps something's changed and I'll be reinvigorated. However, a few of my colleagues' adult children, who live interstate or oversees, use Facebook, and so they use it to communicate and catch up with their children using Facebook. Perhaps that's where the 'gem' really is - communicating with distance family and friends. <em>Allison Miller's last blog post..<a href='http://rajmmiller.blogspot.com/2008/03/notes-from-mega-280308-workshop.html' rel="nofollow">Notes from mEga 280308 workshop</a></em> I’m like you.

I don't find myself checking Facebook as often as I was. As a matter of fact I'm getting pretty annoyed with all the game requests and silly app invites. I keep ignoring some but my friends keep sending them to me. I decided to keep it and may streamline that to a simplified profile without all the bells and whistles. I've been able to connect with old high school friends thru Facebook along with creating a Grace Church group that now has almost 100 people in it. It's just one more way for communcating what's up at the church along with creating a community opportunity.
