I have been on Facebook since 2007--of course back in 2007 I think I had about 5 friends of which were real estate agents in my company that friend-ed me (and, of course, are much younger and tech savvier (sp?)).
In the past year, my friend count has gone from about 25 to over 500 and I even have a fan page! I have reconnected with most of my close high school, college, after college, neighborhood, real estate and local friends. It has been a blast. Year round we are posting photos of our kids, pets, listings, parties , achievements, sports, you name it-I even had a friend post her recent hair hilites....
So here is the dilemma-do I send out my usual annual family Christmas card with smiling pets and children to my friends and family? Do I send a card to my sphere? My usual witty family letter was a hit in the past. But now I put witty updates in my status, post pics of my pets killing things, post pics of my daughter in a Halloween costume (Ok, it was PG rated, she's 14) post pics of my husband in various parts of the world (he's an airline pilot-OH WAIT, he does that on HIS status on FB...).
I loooved the process of choosing the card. I looved the process of agonizing over the photo. I looved writing the funny family letter (from my cat no less). But I think I am going to have to loooove writing it in my notes page on Facebook and then tagging those I want to read it. I think this can be my way to reduce my Christmas card carbon footprint! Or maybe every day in December my status updates will be a line from my letter.......
