The title itself is the root of the problem.  It's a different world than Cary Grant's.  See--half of you don't even know who he is.  For the first time in my life (well, maybe not the first), I'm not the young one with the new ideas, taking the newest risks, trying the newest things.

That's it--it's a generation gap.  This is the point where I suspiciously start sounding like my parents.  I Facebook--But I can't be a part of the "Under 40 Social Networking Club" in my MLS Area-seriously, I can't.  For the first time in my life---really this time---I feel older.

So, where does Facebook come in.  As far as Real Estate, I think it probably serves more of a "business" role for agents who are serving an area where they have been for a very long time or grew up there.  Kind of to remind everyone what they do. (Lake Conroe Real Estate, Huntsville TX Real Estate, Lake Livingston Real Estate)  For people in general, it means so may different things and fills so many different roles.

For me, it's kind of a strange and varied place where I meet up with people I haven't seen on 30 years (or 28 years)-like people I went to High School with- (Okay--Cat's out of the bag in terms of age), catch up with former students telling me what's going on in their lives or asking for advice. (I used to be a teacher--always will be,I guess)  Well, for me it's the availability thing.  We--as a people---have become pretty private.  I think Facebook serves as an invitation to kinda "put yourself out there," to become accessible.  Hmmmm...

What is Facebook to you????????????  I really want to know. What's on Your Mind?

Cute, Mari. I don't think any of us are old enough to have seen the original movie, but certainly the reruns :)

I am still note quite sure how to use Facebook properly, and the Business Page needs a rocket scientist to manage it properly.  But from what I read all the time, it is one of the social networking biggies.

Facebook is a place where some really let it all hang out, and others stick toes in the water. I think it's what you want it to be.

I'm with you Mari, I do facebook, and love catching up with my old schoolmates and friends.  But I haven't quite figured out how to use it to my advantage.  I can't seem to make myself "put it all out there" like some people do.  When you figure it out, let me know.  lol

Mar, Mari, Mari, I jumped in with my personal page and I was astounded at the people who popped up on my page!  I have also begun working on my Naples Luxury Lifestyle page and am trying to post on a regular basis. Selling in Southwest Florida I am dealing with the people who do know Judy, Judy, Judy and they say they will never be on Facebook but I caught one of my friends reading my FB page the other day!  Aha!  Caught ya! :-)

Mari -- I am still trying to learn the ropes of Facebook but so far, like you, have just used it to reconnect with old friends from high school.

I drive to Bunco with 2 other "Judy's" so we are constantly greeted with "Hi Judy, Judy, Judy!" upon our arrival.
