Thing #19

I am a member of Facebook for personal use, I signed up for a twitter for my EDUC 3040 class and I now use it to follow many educators.  I recently signed up for Pinterest but I simply cannot figure that one out.  I don't have a ton of extra time so most social networks get very little attention from me.  I can imagine in the future being a part of the networks that involve books and reading and the food networks might be helpful in finding some good recipes that don't require a bunch of time.   I guess I am just a little old fashioned in that I enjoy actual contact with people.  When you allow yourself to be consumed with Internet networks, there tends to be less time to actually interact with people.  I'm not knocking any one's fascination with different site as I am sure there are definite benefits to being a part of some of these sites.  I just would choose actual physical company than a book club online.  Anyway, I enjoyed this "thing".  It opened my eyes to how many opportunities there are to connect with people in all kinds of cultures and geographic locations who are interested in the same things I am.  Hooray for "thing #19".
