I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook.  It’s a service that allows me to keep tabs on people I wouldn’t normally do.  I recently played a game where I covered up the names of my friends to see if there were people whose faces I couldn’t place.  There were several.  There are also a few with whom I have a stronger relationship on Facebook than I ever have had in person.  It’s an interesting and fun dynamic.  A love/hate relationship.

Where I begin to hate Facebook is when it takes away from my blogging.  I started to blog to put context around photos.  To find special moments in the growth of my two boys and put stories behind them.  To put some feeling behind the images.  How was I feeling that day?  Was it hot?  What was going on just off shot?  These are all things that you can do in Facebook but it’s sort of against the unofficial Facebook etiquette.  What is the Facebook etiquette?  For starters, keep it short.  The “wall” only has so much space and Facebook will even cut you off with a read more tab if you write too much.  Also, when you write, you’re writing for the audience, for your friends.  When I’m at my best with this blog, I think I’m writing for myself.

All of this is just a little something to think about.  I’ve thought about leaving Facebook but I’ll never do that… I love it too much.  What I will do is spend some more time on my blog, on my memories.  Disney 2014 and all of those memories will be a good place to start!
