I am proud of our blog…to think we could put this together and have never seen each other face to face or have never actually heard the other’s voices. However, we have communicated in a way that seems to be the most popular way in today’s society…by the internet.
I am glad that we did this in a way other than Facebook. I do not have a Facebook account and am one of the few family members and my friends who do not have a Facebook account. Do I feel I am missing out on something fantastic? Not in the least. I consider myself a “people person” and would rather communicate DIRECTLY with those people when I want to say something. A direct e-mail (like our team used) worked perfectly. I have no desire to have people who I have not seen in 20+ years read my e-mail. It seems a little weird to all of a sudden have “good” friends that you haven’t seen or spoken to since high school (I will not mention how long ago that could be for me!!!!!!!) see what you have written about a subject that has nothing to do with them.
Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5gtN16gOr8 . It is a basic “how-to” tool about the Facebook concept. As a newbie to the Facebook world, I found it interesting. It is not a comedy like the class video (which by the way was hysterical) but a basic “this is what it is”.
So Team 3 is off and running. There is more to come.

Nancy,
I, like you, do not have a Facebook account and do not feel like I am missing out on anything. I am comfortable with the friends I currently have in my life. Your comment about people from high school struck a cord with me. First, if someone from my past wanted to find me, they wouldn’t have to look very hard. I still live in the same town and I still have the same name. Second, if they did not talk to me in high school, why would they want to talk to me now? Or better yet, why would I want to talk to them?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Ande Gibbs
Agreed. I also do not feel that I am missing much with Facebook. The bit of information I get from my wife and her Facebook time is more than I really need. I admit, it was interesting when my wife “friended” an old acquaintance from high school. It was fun to read about where she was living and where her life had taken her. But for every post she shares that is truly interesting, there are about fifty that are not. Who cares how much corn you grew in Farmville.
